Lesson Comments
Quinn did very well with his coordination exercise and playing the basic rock beat. He seems to really enjoy the drums and has shown some natural ability and rhythm.
We read a Lego City book "En la granja" (on the farm). We learned (reviewed already learned) vocabulary: horse, cow, pig, hay, farm, city, food, milk, tractor, truck, work. After reading the book Anna and Quinn each drew a picture of a farm.
Played a brain game with Yanuell.
Anna- Read a story and drew conclusions about the characters. Rewrote the ending of a story if the characters had made different choices.
