Friday note

Hola Familias!

These are some of the exciting new things Level II is learning.

Speaking of the future!
We have been working so hard on vocabulary and verbs to talk about the simple present. But what happens when we want to talk about our weekend? Or the next week? Or even the next millennium??!!

Using words we already know, we have tied together the verb "ir" (Yo voy, El/Ella va) plus the infinite verb. Here "ir" is acting as a helping verb, and it alludes to an action that we haven't begun, but will begin.

Yo voy a comer.
Manana, yo voy a nadar en Lago Temescal.
La proxima semana, el va a comer pizza en Zachary's.

We have just begun exploring this structure, and we will use it to predict what will happen to seeds that we will plant, and talking about our plans.
