We will work on the computers on www.quia.com to practice the body parts. Later in the week we will be learning about the different objects in the classroom.

In Sixth grade we are still working on time, ¿Que hora es? and the quiz we were supposed to have this week will be next week. On the Monday and Tuesday classes we will have a quiz on time, numbers and the alphabet. We will spend the first part of class reviewing for the quiz, take the quiz and then move onto body parts. We will be creating bodies and labeling them and probably playing some pictionary.

HOMEWORK: This weekend it is really important to study the alphabet, the numbers and telling time for the quiz.
