</U></STRONG>We wrapped up our Dia de los Muertos holiday by showing off our projects and tasting bread.  Thank you once again for celebrating this wonderful holiday with me.  I truly enjoyed learning about all of your ancestors and seeing how resourceful you were in creating altars in their honor.  For me this is a time to celebrate my dad who died ten years ago (this Saturday) with brain cancer.  He was only 57.  He loved fall and the changes to winter.  One of my favorite memories of him was his dedication to my swimming and his support for all of my 6:00am practices and swimming meets.  Eventhough my son was only five when he died, I enjoy sharing stories about him and teaching him about him... celebrating his life and having Mitchell "know" Grandpa Otto.  I like to think he shines down and is at all of the 6:00am practices and games that Mitchell now has.  And even though you may not have "known" the person you celebrated...hopefully you have learned a little bit about your ancestors and enjoyed this celebration!  GRACIAS!!!<BR>

         than just the pronoun and the verb.  Kids worked in groups with partners to use their pronoun/verb<BR>
         flashcards.  You need to have 10 sentences completed for Wednesday.  For example, if you draw the<BR>
         pronoun "Ella" with the verb "estudiar" you might write the sentence: Ella estudia en la escuela.<BR>
7th~ We went over the packet from Friday and working on the days of the week and the months of the year.  <BR>
         This vocabulary is on p. 20.<BR>
         HW> Write a sentence for each month of the year, include a holiday. <BR>
         Example: El día de enamorado es el catorce de febrero.  (You can go on the internet and finds holidays<BR>
         that are part of countries in Latin America.)<BR>
8th~ We went over the worksheets that were given in class on Friday.  We worked on reviewing the conjuga-<BR>

                    usar = to use, visitar = to visit, etc.<BR>
                    If you were to put the subject yo with the verb hablar; yo hablar = I to talk; this doesn't <BR>

   <EM><U>conjugated:</U></EM> is a verb is used with a subject; the verb ending in Spanish changes to go with the subject.<BR>
