New Knowledge

   Hi guys! It´s me again. I completed Lesson 4 and 5 this morning. The first was very intructive because it helped me to practice Math words that are frequently used in my classroom. I even made a new word, sort, which means "ordenar" in Spanish.
   Also , in this lesson, was a very funny educational activity; I mean World-O-Rama, where the words of the lesson were associated with its definition and context.
   Lesson 5 was interesting. It was about homophones, words that are phonetically similar but with differences in their writing and meaning.
   Also I learned two new words: hole (agujero) and whole (todo). That´s why I looked for a list of homophones words that are widely used in English.

           ate(comió)-eight(ocho)                                                     be(ser/estar)-bee(abeja)
           blew(sopló)-blue(azul)                                                      brake(freno)-break(rotura)
           buy(comprar)-by(por)                                                      dye(tinte)- die(morir)
           fair(feria)- fire(fuego)                                                        heal(sanar)-heel(tacón)
           hear(escuchar)-here(aquí)                                                knew(sabía)-new(nuevo)
           mail(correo)-male(masculino)                                           peace(paz)-piece(pieza)
           pray(orar)-prey(presa)                                                      reel(carrete)-real(real)
           sail(vela)-sale(venta)                                                         sea(mar)-see(ver)
           stair(escalera)-stare(mirar)                                                steal(robar)-steel(acero)
           waist(cintura)-waste(residuos)                                           week(semana)-weak(débil)

I hope you find it useful. So, see you tomorrow!!!!!
