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:
Correr- to run
Yo corro -o
Tú corres -es
Él corre -e
Ella corre -e
Usted corre -e
Nosotros corremos -emos
Nosotras corremos -emos
Ellos corren -en
Ellas corren -en
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.
