Hola niños y padres,
Today we reviewed the colors and animals we learned the first week. We played a flyswatter game and ¨Los gatitos morados¨won the game. We talked generally about verb conjugations, but just as an introduction. Then we told a story about a cute dog who came to class and tried to copy the students. We learned these action words:
va- goes
viene- comes
besa- kisses
juega- plays
dice- says
escucha- listens
presta atención. pays attention
levanta la mano- raises a hand
abre el libro- opens a book
lee- reads
cierra el libro- closes the book
escribe- writes
We acted out the story twice and the students glued pictures in their booklet. I think we had a lot of fun today and will play a game every week!
Here is the story:

This is a video of Mafalda, a famous Argentinian cartoon character who is known for her insightful commentaries on society and politics, somewhat like Calvin and Hobbes. You will see a typical uniformed classroom of Argentina and observe some cultural norms, as well as some political criticism. Mafalda doesn´t understand the point of the dictation, which is to write correctly and beautifully. Instead, she congratulates the teacher on having a mother who loves her and spoils her, as the phrase of the dictation was ¨Mi mamá me ama¨ (my mother loves me), ¨mi mamá me mima¨ (my mother spoils me).
Next, Mafalda realizes she switches her paints for her father´s toothpaste.
This video and song will reinforce the verb endings we introduced today.
