Dear families of St. Elizabeth, thank you for all of your love, support, prayers and understanding in our such deep pain, and please keep praying for us.

All the grades are learning the names of body parts, and the expectations vary with every grade.

Pre-K:  We have been working hard mastering some Spanish basics mainly through songs and body movements.  They are little busy bodies that love to learn and that is great!  They have learned a variety of songs that name body parts.

Kinder:  Our phonics are coming along just beautifully and we love singing “Aturi-ta” to learn the body parts’ names.

1^st Grade:  Wow! In addition to our basics, we have been learning about gender and the articles in Spanish (EL, LA, LOS, LAS).  We are sounding out and clapping to break into syllables to be able to read.

2^nd Grade:  We are busy bees learning how to say time.  We know how to say time to the exact hour and will move on to “time after” and “time until.”

3^rd Grade:  We are concentrating on detailed face parts and will put it together with the verb “to have” in constructing sentences.

4^th Grade:  We have been writing sentences with a body part, the verbs “tener” or “gustar,” an indefinite article, and an adjective. Students will have an oral test on naming their face body parts before Spring Break.

5^th Grade:  We are writing sentences with a body part, the verb “tener”, an article, and an adjective.

6^th Grade:  We are learning many body parts as well as the verb “tener” and the present progressive of some verbs; and, writing sentences with each body part and the verb “to have” (tener) with using correct grammar and sentence structure.

7^th Grade:  We are learning many body parts as well as the verb “tener” and the present progressive of some verbs; and, writing sentences with each body part and the verb “to have” (tener), using correct grammar and sentence structure.

8^th Grade:  We are learning many body parts as well as the verb “tener” and the present progressive of some verbs; and, writing sentences with each body part and the verb “to have” (tener), using correct grammar and sentence structure.
