martes, el cinco de febrero

Spanish I:

  • Students learned how to tell time today. We went over the differences between telling time in English and telling time in Spanish.
  • They then had a worksheet, writing time sentences. This is due tomorrow.
Grammar Notes:

Telling time in Spanish

     1) Any 1:00 time is considered singular, and you must start your sentence with
       “Es la una.”
        Any 2:00-12:00 time is considered plural, and you must start your sentence with
       “Son las dos.”

      2) Use ‘y’ + minutes for the number of minutes after the hour.
1:05    Es la una y cinco. (Do not say ‘cero” for zero)
2:10:   Son las dos y diez.

     3) Use ‘menos’ + minutes for the number of minutes before the hour.
12:50   Es la una menos diez.
1:50     Son las dos menos diez.

   4) Use ‘cuarto’ for quarter past and ‘media’ for half past.
1:15    Es la una y cuarto.
2:30    Son las dos y media.

    5) When you are talking about when something will happen, use “a la una/a las dos
¿A qué hora es la clase de español? La clase de español es a las dos. = At what time is Spanish class? Spanish class is at 2 pm.


Quiz:
  • The 2.2 quiz (part 2) will be on Monday, Feb 11th.
3rd Grade Spanish:

  • Students had a practice test on the months in Spanish, and most of them already can match them all.
  • They learned how to write the complete date in Spanish. They will begin having Spanish homework from today onwards. This week's homework is writing the complete date every day (including weekends). It will be due next Monday. I am keeping the homework sheet until Wednesday, so I can go over it with them this week.
