German Beginners Update

     Dear Parents,

          Our topic during the past weeks has been Kleidung. We were involved in the following activities:

·        Learning all of the names of clothing

·        Playing dress up

·        Making costumes and masks: Ich möchte den König sein. Ich brauche die Krone.

·        Role playing in our costumes and taking pictures

·        Singing songs to match our topic

·        Playing our Schokolade game. Ask your child to tell you what we did.

·        Having several opportunities to have Free Reading (with German books)

·        Completing lessons 5 and 6 in Tamburin 1

.  

We have started writing our own stories in German by using the Storybird program. The students are very motivated to choose the topic and art to go along with their own stories. They have been working in partners and are being risk-takers in this new venture. As soon as they are finished we will publish them for you to see.

 I hope your child has the opportunity to use German in everyday situations. I would also encourage the children to use the search engine "Blindeküh" accessible from the ISD Intranet. They can play games, watch special TV programs and much more. Have a look!

Have a wonderful and safe week!
