Parent-Teacher Week and Learning Conjugations

The past two weeks have been more adventures with conjugations! Woo-hoo conjugations- something that can easily become a boring grammar lesson become exciting and interesting to the mind our 1st and 2nd graders. Before the parent-teacher conference, I gently introduced conjugations for –ER verbs by incorporating the lesson into scavenger hunts and obstacle races in teams.

Like I had mentioned in the last blog, verbs in Spanish can be organized into 3 categories depending on their endings: -AR,-ER or –IR. For –ER verbs, the conjugations are as followed:

1. Correr- to run

2. Yo corro -o

3. Tú corres -es

4. Él corre -e

5. Ella corre -e

6. Usted corre -e

7. Nosotros corremos -emos

8. Nosotras corremos -emos

9. Ellos corren -en

10. Ellas corren -en

11. Ustedes corren -en

For parent-teacher conference week, we were blessed with such wonderful weather that we played scavenger hunts outside, along with playing the card game, memory in the library.
