Lesson 1: A busy week

Before starting this unit, you might want to check that children can recall:

• How to express likes and dislikes, using the phrases me gusta - I like, me gusta mucho - I like a lot and no me gusta - I don't like.
• The conjunction porque – because.
• That an adjective must agree with the gender of the noun it describes, which means the ending of the adjective may change. For example, a small dog is un perro pequeño, but a small cow is una vaca pequeña.

• Names of the days of the week in Spanish.
