Sombrero Time Children Smiling

Spanish 2

Our theme for this week is la casa, the house.  Students will learn a poem naming all the basic parts of a house (or building), draw the parts to construct a small model house, and talk about the story of "Los tres cochinitos" or "The Three Little Pigs."  as well as learn to summarize it in writing and retell the story verbally.  Look for the story on Friday and have the student read it to you.
