Once again I've forgotten to blog on Weds, sorry! Wednesday we practiced body parts, sang "Don Alfredo Baila..." to learn some body parts, and labeled our partner with post its to practice body parts. A handout of Grammar Help pages (four photocopied sheets) was passed out to teach and reinforce the idea of "articles": el/la, los/las, and direct object pronouns: un/una, unos/unas. We also worked on Ser, the verb "to be".
