La fecha es el veintiséis de septiembre.

It's a lot to take in:

La fecha es el veintiséis de septiembre.

The date is September twenty-six.

But every morning, Claxton students will hear the date in Spanish and, before you know it, they'll be able to tell you the date in Spanish as well.

In this last week of septiembre, they'll have a chance to count to 30:

veintiséis           twenty-six            (veinte = 20; séis = 6)
veintisiete          twenty-seven
veintiocho          twenty-eight
veintinueve        twenty-nine
treinta                thirty

You can also ask your student to tell you what day it is, since this is announced every morning as well:

Hoy es lunes (Monday) martes (Tuesday) miercoles (Wednesday) jueves (Thursday) viernes (Friday) sábado (Saturday) domingo (Sunday)

Keep practicing those days of the week!



You may also hear a new greeting this week:

Me llamo            My name is (or, literally, I call myself)

And remind your Claxton student that Mr. Butler, Ms. Eggett, Ms. Brown, Ms. Rigsby, and Ms. Olson are giving out prizes to students who tell them the date or the day of the week in Spanish!
