WAYS TO HELP YOUR CHILD WITH THE SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
There are so many ways to help your child at home even if you are not fluent in the target language they are learning. Here are some tips for doing so:
- ask what they learned in class
- review their vocabulary or class notes with them for 5-10 minutes daily.
- listen to music in the target language.
- watch Television or movies in the target language.
- speak the target language if possible at home.
- flashcards with vocabulary
- label items in the house in the target language.
- use free digital platforms like Duolingo for 5 minutes a day.
WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS MONTH?
World Language Academy
🌎SPANISH ACADEMY🌎
Spanish 1(6th) Sra. Morales-We are learning to use the verb "ir" to learn how to use it when asking and answering simple questions about where to go for some activities.
This is the first verb that is part of Lesson 4. Students have the vocabulary to continue studying not only the verb "ir", but the other irregular verbs that will be studied in this lesson.
Remember, all the vocabulary from the other lesson studied are coming together in lesson 4, 5, and 6.
The students need to study all vocabulary from Lesson 1.Spanish 2 (7th) (Sra. Morales)-In Spanish 2 we are in Lesson 2: El consultorio. Vocabulary ranges from parts of the body to health conditions. It is fun. We continue studying and practicing with different verbs. Now we are learning to use the imperfect tense. Is not going to be easy if the students do not study and practice every day.
Spanish 2 (8th)(Sra. Miguez)-The students will be able to understand:
- Terms related to technology, electronics, and the internet.
- Terms related to cars and their accessories.
- Social network in Spanish-speaking countries.
- Text messaging.
- Familiar (tú)commands.
- Project: create a comic strip about technology.

French 2 (7th/8th)-The students will continue to learn about the common idiomatic reflexives’ verbs. For Grammar, they will learn how to form the passé composé and imparfait of reflexive verbs. Also, they will read an article on “Culture à la loupe La Sécurité sociale”.
