Kleidung, Notes, Fashion Show Details
Hello, all!
I hope everyone enjoyed their 3 day weekend. I know I enjoyed the extra day off to sleep in.
As promised, here is a blog post with some reminders and notes. I will also list the expectations for the Fashion Show once again.
Here is an example of the homework design assignment. Students were asked to design three outfits from their closet and write three short descriptions on the back.
Remember, the two ways to structure your sentences are:
He wears....
Er trägt....
OR
He has ..... on. (He has on......)
Er hat ..... an.
Please see the picture below for a review on the notes taken in class.
Blue is for "der words", pink is for "die words", and lastly green is for "das words".
I hope the color coding visual will help you understand the concept.
My suggestion is that you start by listing the outfit you will wear, and figure out which ones are der, die, or das. Then, begin to structure your short script and be sure to use the correct for of 'ein' (einen, eine, ein). Use as many adjectives as you would like, but be sure to add on the correct ending!
Your grade for the Fashion Show will be based on the following 3 things:
1. Your Attitude.
Are you actively participating the day of by paying attention and encouraging classmates? Are you focused and not being disruptive? Are you simply enjoying the end product of the unit?
2. Your Script.
The day of the Fashion Show (next Monday for Quasars, Tuesday for Comets) you must have a typed or neatly handwritten script to be handed in to Frau G. The script must be the description of the outfit that either you or your partner will be wearing for the assignment.
You and your partner may decide amongst yourselves whether YOU are writing the script for YOUR OUTFIT, and YOUR PARTNER will read that script... OR... whether YOU will write the description for YOUR PARTNER'S OUTFIT and YOU will read it.
3. Your Pronunciation.
Are you enunciating? How comfortable do you sound reading the script? How easy is it to understand you? .... How fluent do you sound?
And lastly....
I'm goin' to Space Camp, I'm goin' to Space Camp, I'm goin' to Space Camp....
:does Frau G's happy dance:
See you at 7:15 at Murphy Candler Park!
Alles liebe,
Frau G

Guten Tag!
Take a look at a few student classwork examples. If you are a native German speaker perusing the sight, please forgive any mistakes! I am very proud of my students progress. :)

Welcome back!
I hope everyone had a wonderful (and relaxing) break and a Happy New Year!
We started out this semester working with Kleidung (Clothing). This unit will be focused on the students learning (reviewing) clothing vocabulary and learning a bit of grammar as well. So far we have:
-continued to have warm ups
-were introduced to the new vocabulary list
-have played two vocabulary games in class using manipulatives,a "Matching/Memory Game" and "Wer hat..? Ich habe.."
-made a clothing collage/figure in class
-been given three mannequin templates to draw possible outfit designs for the Fashion Show
-on the back they are describing their three outfit ideas using 5 Kleidung Vokabeln und 4 Adjektiven
They have been given a handout which lists the vocabulary they are expected to know for this unit. We took notes in class on how they are to write a paragraph/ their ‘script’ for the Fashion Show. The Fashion Show will take place once the sixth grade gets back from Space Camp and will be a whole class thing; they will have time to change in and out of their outfits. Students are expected to partner up and while Partner A models, Partner B will describe Partner A’s outfit in German. They will have a full day to plan and rehearse in class with their partner
That is all for now, bis später!

DIVERSITY in the German Classroom: A conference attended by Frau V & G
Today Frau V and Frau G are doing some professional development. Hello Emory Conference Center!
We had a wonderful time meeting fellow language enthusiasts. The two of us had the opportunity to do some networking, meet college professors and business professionals sharing just how important it is to be bilingual in a growing global economy. A “Why German?” Kittredge brochure is soon to come! Here we will share just a little of the information we discussed while at this conference.
One of the most exciting things for our Kittredge family is the fact that we got to hear Christoph Sander, Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Atlanta speak. He is outstanding and I've spoken with him on a few occasions. The most exciting bit?? The day before this conference (on Thursday!) he was visiting Kittredge!! Fourth and fifth graders might recognize him, he was observing Frau Baumann in action.

1, 2, 3- Zählen in Deutsch!
Grüße an allen!
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
