Como es?

This last week we have been getting into the nitty-gritty of the "ser" (to be) verb. We have been using this verb to describe objects around us, using adjectives to build complete sentences, and just today, linking them with animals.
We have read books like "Perro grande, perro pequeno"(big dog, small dog), which is full of adjectives, "Aventura en el Otono" (Adventures in Fall) from the Lango program, which is also full of adjectives about the fall, and others.
On Thursday the kiddos wrote sentences using "es". They drew a picture of a creature and described it.
Here are some pics:




Some awesome adjectives that we are working on are:
baboso-slimy
salvaje-wild
lindo-cute
inteligente- smart
mojado- wet
seco-dry

Build sentences:
El perro es inteligente.
_________ es ____________.

Hola Familias!

These first two weeks we have been practicing colors, numbers, greetings, and verbs. These last few days we focused on a few verbs, acted them out,and actually built sentences with them. Here are some of those verbs:
- cantar (sing)
- saltar (jump)
- bailar (dance)
- llorar (cry)
- mirar (see, look)

Yo canto, salto, bailo, lloro, miro.
(Notice that when conjugated with Yo (I) they end in o!...the kids noticed that today)

Try forming silly sentences at home like:
Yo bailo en mi casa.
