Today we celebrated the feast of Saint Martin, also known as "Lantern and Goose Day!" To celebrate, we took a slightly different turn from the usual marching in the Saint Martin's Day parade around the school; instead of participating, we made geese puppets and followed along behind the parade, honking! The students' puppets were excellent--mine looked a bit like a "demented penguin with pinkeye," according to some.
We also covered the history behind Saint Martin's Day, including both the Calling of Martin and his establishment as Bishop of Tours.
As promised, today we also had a quiz over what we'd learned last week about telling time, namely the use of the 24-hour clock, quarter before/after and half before/after.
Next week, as mentioned in last week's entry, we will be having a quiz over the vocabulary (Wortschatz) of the last 3 Hörverständnis exercises.
- Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt
- Nena - 99 Luftballoons
- Juli - Ein Gruß
If your child requires another copy of the exercise sheets in order to study the vocabulary, please feel free to ask.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for:
Hausaufgabe:
- Write a minimum of 10 sentences using words from the vocabulary lists.
For the sake of studying, I'd recommend writing sentences with all of the words, but I will only require a list of 10 for grading.
~Mit Vergnügen
