Grade 4 Beginners - December 2010
The focus in October and November has been "Meine Familie". Here are just some of the things we did in class:
· Drew sketches of our family and labeled them
· Shared what our family members like to do
· Showed pictures of our family and presented them in front of the class
· Read dialogues from other families (Peter und Petra)
· Learned additional verbs in the 3rd person plural: Meine Eltern lesen gern.
· We listened to several listening comprehension activities on the CD
· Completed an assessment on Lektion 4
· Reflected on our learning and progress in German thus far
· Watched the Muzzy DVD for overall understanding
Early in November our focus was on the celebration of St. Martin. We made beautiful lanterns, learned 4 new songs and performed in an assembly.
At the present we are reading longer text and writing about other children in German speaking countries. We read about children "aus Österreich, aus der Schweiz und aus Deutschland." During the next 2 weeks we will explore some geographical characteristics of Germany including major rivers, ports, mountain ranges,etc. We will also look at several major cities in this part of Europe. New words such as: eine Kirche, ein Hafen, eine Brücke, ein Fluss, ein Platz und ein Schloss will be covered. I hope that you will be able to explore many of these places with your family during your stay in Germany.
Your child will bring their German materials home to share with you on Friday. Please have them return everything on Monday again. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
