September 12, 2023 Term 3B - Week 01 - Day 02
Welcome to Term 3B!!

Our folk tale for the term is "La gallinita roja" (The Little Red Hen).

This week we are learning words from our story (we're using the Barefoot Books edition--I'm biased on this one since I am a Community Bookseller for that company... you will LOVE the illustrations) but ANY version will do.

Come learn 5 new words with us today, but remember: you want to have a picture of each word in front of you to look at and point to as you practice saying each word ALOUD. That's right. To learn these words well you need to be saying them out loud. (You'll thank me later!)

Let's JUMP IN!

Today's words are...
los granos | (GRAH-nohs) | grains, beans, seeds
la harina | (ah-REE-nah) | flour
el horno | (OHR-noh) | oven
la levadura | (leh-bah-DOO-rah) | yeast
la masa | (MAH-sah) | dough

Come back tomorrow for 5 more new words!
