What a wonderful Open House experience. I had a great time meeting parents at curriculum night, hope you did, too. As the year goes on if any questions, comments, or concerns arise please send them my way!
Today the Quasars and I spent time working with cognates again. We also briefly touched on (reviewing) counting in German. Below is a picture that shows the numbers 1-20 in German.
You will notice that the last column to the right has all the multiples of ten written out in German as well. In the following paragraph I shall recap our lesson from today.
In German, the numbers 1-20 are said as written above. After 20, you start by saying the second number first (the number in the "ones" place) and the first number second (the number in the"tens"place). So einundzwanzig (21), zweiundzwanzig (22), dreiundzwanzig (23), and so on. Don't forget the 'and'!
So the number 24 would be: vierundzwanzig.
.... the number 38 would be: achtunddreißig.
.... the number 42 would be: zweiundvierzig.
(Please note that 30 (dreißig) has the 'ß' (ss)... the others all use 'z'!)
Now, remember how in English one says one hundred, two hundred, three hundred? In German it is the same.
100: einhundert
200: zweihundert
300: dreihundert
400: vierhundert
500: fünfhundert
600: sechshundert
700: siebenhundert
800: achthundert
900: neunhundert
1000: eintausend (...and the same applies for one thousand as well!)
Here are some more examples including larger numbers.
348: dreihundertachtundvierzig (I used the bold to help you read it.)
127: einhundertsiebenundzwanzig
6, 482: sechstausendvierhundertzweiundachtzig
12, 657: zwölftausendsechshundertsiebenundfünfzig
56: sechsundfünfzig
Ok. So now for your homework. :)
I shall now list 5 numbers below that I want you to write out in German on a piece of paper and bring in to class the next time I see you. (Quasars that will be WEDNESDAY. Comets, you have not had this lesson yet, and this will be your homework for Tuesday- Thursday.)
1. 3, 736
2. 678
3. 49
4. 16, 290
5. 235
That's all for today! Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day weekend... Frau G is off to Knoxville! ( Go Vols!!!)
Bis nächste Woche,
Frau G
