¡Huesos! Bones! 4th & 5th grade quiz coming

Hola todos,

More later but just a quick update. We've been doing a lot with esqueletos (skeletons) in 4th and 5th grade, piggy-backing on the English science unit and also studying a bit about El Día de los muertos. The week of November 15 (Thursday and Friday depending on when class meets), we will have a quiz on some of the huesos (bones) en español. Students have received a study sheet. We've done several activities in class to help them review. The quiz will consist of a drawing of the esqueleto with blanks to fill in for the huesos we have been studying. They will be given a word bank to help with recall and spelling.

Here's the list of the 13 bones they need to know:
cráneo, clavícula, escápula, mandíbula, esternón, costilla, carpo, metacarpo, falanges (1), rótula, tarso, metatarso, falanges (2). If you want to help them study, ask them to share their study sheet with you and have them act out where the bones are. Then cover the words on the sheet and see if they can identify the bones by name.

Check back next week for más Noticias. As always, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Gracias, Sra. Deaton
