4Wood:
Today in class we read a little bit about how Spain was united as one country, the different ethnic groups that influenced Spain, and how the Spanish language was brought to the Americas.
We also learned how to answer the question "¿Cuántos años tienes tú?" (How old are you?)
We will continue practicing that and other questions/answers so that students become comfortable responding verbally to Spanish.
Finally, we talked about cognates, words that look and sound similar in more than one language. Students worked together to identify 20 simple cognates.
There is no homework this week. Have a great week!
