German Update from the Beginners

German Beginners

This is an overview of what we have covered during October and November in German Beginners.

In October we completed a unit about school supplies. Some of following activities were part of our learning:

  • Made labels for things in the classroom
  • Learned all of the words for school supplies (der Bleistift, das Lineal und die Schere
  • Role-played situations (Ich möchte schrieben. Gib mir bitte den Bleistift.)
  • Played games with flash cards
  • Read dialogues
  • Worked in our workbooks
  • Had free reading time
  • Used the appropriate verbs such as: malen, schreiben, turnen, hören, lesen

In November St. Martin was an important part of our learning. We finished our sun lanterns, sang the special songs and some of us even participated in the local parades. The children thoroughly enjoyed the activities that were part of this celebration.  We shared what we had learned with the other students in the school assembly.

Recently we have been learning the body parts in class and have had lots of aches and pains! O je, o je, mein Bein tut so weh!  This topic was reinforced with short dialogues, action games and body parts memory game. The Tamburin textbook provides songs to go along with every chapter. Your child should sing these songs for you and read the dialogues. The books will be coming home on Friday, so you will also want to have a look at the workbook and see what your child has accomplished during the past months.

Ich wünsche Ihnen ein frohes Fest und ein Glückliches neues Jahr!

Sincerely, Frau Scherpel

If there are three 3rd grade classes going on a school trip and each class has 22 students in it. How many busses would be needed if each bus holds 22 people?
