I apologize for the tardiness of this update--we had quite the Halloween party in the Walker Household with my wife having made more baked goods than I have ever thought possible, so preparing for, and then cleaning up after, that event took up most of the weekend.
As for Schule...
Saturday saw us beginning the school day with a 10-sentence Aufsatz, "Das Schaurigste Ding," or "Wovor ich Angst habe," wherein the students described one thing that scares them. Typical examples included haunted houses, older brothers and, in one case, Herr Walker. Apparently I rise from the grave at night to eat children. News to me!
We also added on to our continuing unit over indefinite articles, going back over the possessives mein/meine and dein/deine, and learning ein/eine, kein/keine.
This introduced another staple of the 5.Klasse's gaming repertoire, "Bart Kein Bart." In this game, one does a series of motions that go along with the phrases "Bart," "Kein Bart," "Mein Bart," "Dein Bart" and make a neighbor repeat them, the goal being to make a pattern someone else can't repeat, going on until you're the last one standing!
Also covered were different ways of expressing like, dislike and desire
- gern haben
- finden + adjective
- "möchten" (presented as its own verb although technically it isn't)
- mögen
