Grammar 3 Spanish
Posted by jwatters22-26 de febrero
We are continuing in our unit, “La familia,” this week. Our next vocabulary items we will work with, sing, play with and milk are: va a, viene, la escuela. Of course we will do so much more than just learn to use these three words! I am so proud of how fluent many of the students are becoming! And everyone’s pronunciation is spectacular! Keep up the good work.
Also, this week the students begin practicing for their Spanish dance performance. They will be dancing once a week on Wednesdays with Señora Bradley. ¡Arriba!
Music with Mrs. Still

Here are some highlights of our planned studies for the month of March:
- Our composers in focus this month are Frederic Chopin of Poland and Claude Debussy of France. We are focusing on some of their beautiful piano pieces. We will hear Chopin’s “Minute Waltz”, his “Raindrop Prelude”, and several of his preludes, mazurkas, and nocturnes. We will enjoy Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”, “Girl with the Flaxen Hair”, and “Arabesque 1″.
- Our folk songs this month will have a nautical theme – “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean”, “Cockles and Muscles”, “Blow the Man Down”, and other songs of the sea. How fitting after our recent “Pirates” musical!
- News by Grade Level: All students in K through 6 will share music and recitations at designated moments throughout the Grandparents Day on Friday, March 19. K-garten will listen to “Carnival of the Animals” over the weeks ahead. Grammar 1 will be learning “Eerie Canal” to tie in with their history studies and will be listening to “Peter and the Wolf”. Grammar 2 will take time in the weeks ahead to learn about Verdi’s opera set in Egypt, “Aida”. G3 will continue to learn about medieval and renaissance music and will continue recorder studies. G4 and G5 will resume recorder studies and will work on music for their Texas and frontier themed plays for Grandparents Day.
