Family Photos

Students shared pictures of their families. They talked about them and learned so much about one another! 🙂
I really enjoyed getting to known my students’ family members.

Aicha is sharing pictures of her wedding party with Leticia and Catarina

Sandra is looking for a picture of her family on her cell phone while Marina is sharing a wonderful picture frame of her family.

Glenda and Micaela enjoyed Marina’s presentation.

Light, Camera, ACTION!!

Today we are learning more action verbs that we can use with CAN or CAN’T. Enjoy this video with Pink Panther and learn LOTS of  actions verbs!

What can Pink Panther do? What can’t she do?

Farewell for Mr. Tommie
