Conjugation!

Third week, and the semester is in full swing. We have started learning about conjugation in addition to new vocabulary. We are getting used to a new gradebook program, prepping for the semester, and students have adjusted beautifully to the life of a sixth grader.

Here is the link to the video we viewed in class. Remember, the video is about conjugation in Spanish, but the concept is the same.

The diagram below was shown in class as well. This is the pattern you follow for regular verbs!



Coming up: The Facebook Project. Parents, don't worry, it is a hard copy project. Students will turn in a "profile" in ALL German on paper (either computer generated or hand drawn). More on this later!

Tschüssi!

Willkommen!

First of all, welcome back! Sommer ist vorbei, und es ist mal wieder Zeit zum lernen!







I hope everyone had a fun, safe, wonderful and relaxing summer. I sure enjoyed my time away! Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to our normal routine. I have missed teaching! This will be my second year at KMS. I am oh so very excited to be back with my colleagues and students. I look forward to what the year brings, the relationships we will build, and the German you will learn! Very excited.




Almost as excited as this guy......

..... who is he, by the way?

Please check in regularly for classroom updates, explanations, example student work, and even homework. That's all for now!

Tschüss!

Menu Project Due Date

Students,

The Menu Project is due on MONDAY, MAY 5TH no matter which team you are on! Don't forget! Please see the previous blog post for a link to the Webquest. You can use a sheet of 11x14 piece of paper that I have given you or a regular computer paper. Construction paper works to! Make sure it is legible. NEAT. Beautiful. Include prices. Using the euro sign. Do not forget that in German you use a comma and not a period (€ 5,80).  I look forward to seeing your final drafts!

Alles liebe,
Frau G

Poetry Illustrations for "Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen"

Please take a look at the beautiful student work samples below! The sixth grade blew me away with their artistic skills and creativity.

1. Just adorable. And who doesn't love hedgehogs? :)


2. Look at those expressions!


3. Love the third section.


4. Love the first section!


5. Hilarious.


6. Really well done!


Hope you enjoyed stopping by!

Alles gute,

Frau B's Cultural German Class (Every Wednesday)

Some of you may have already heard, every Wednesday Frau Baumann teaches the sixth grade about German culture. It has been very neat to see! The lessons she has prepared so far focus on Berlin. Such a fun city! (Frau G did a mini study abroad there in 2007. Perhaps you will see some personal photos up here shortly.)

The first homework assignment she has given is to draw a section of the Berlin wall,... what freedom might look like to you, how you might illustrate breaking free of the "walls" you experience in your life. Here are some student examples.











They're beautiful, aren't they?
