What Are We Doing?

Our 5th grades classes are working on MI MOCHILA (My Backpack) They are learning how to ask what is in a backpack, and telling what is in their backbacks! We are doing this in full conversations! We are taking the vocabulary they have learned through the years and using them in full sentences now!
Ask your child to show you these notes and practice with them!!
Here is a FUN VIDEO about backpacks and what we have in them! Kids love this video!!
