Songs sung today:

2. 「むすんで、ひらいて」



Reviewing new kanji from yesterday: 肉、魚


しろばん　で：

肉　と　魚　が　すき　    です　か。　　
　　　　　　　　きらい　です　か。

Write two Japanese sentences answering the questions above.

On the same paper, students were to write the questions read out loud, and then answer in Japanese.
from Nakama page 200.
①　スーパー　に　どんな　食べもの　が　あります　か。
②　あさ　何　（なに）を　よく　飲みます　か。


The class as a whole read the grammar explanation on page 205 and 206 of Nakama.

Then students received a handout: pages 87 and 88 from the Nakama workbook.


Special vocabulary -- とくべつな　たんご

どんな                              what kind of?
どの                                  which?
どう　です　か                How is it?


Two ways to say "and" between nouns (only)
と      means "and" in a closed series of nouns where all the eligible nouns are stated in the sentence.
          Example:   Japan's flag is red and white.    日本　の　はた　は　あか　と　しろ　です。
や     means "and" in an open series of nouns, where only some eligible nouns are mentioned.
          Example: Some American fruits are apples and bananas.　
　　　　　　アメリカ　の　くだもの　は　りんご　や　バナナ　です。

Notice the change in relational particles between affirmative and negative with expressions like
すき　です。
＿＿＿＿＿＿　が　すき　です。

＿＿＿＿＿＿　は　あまり　すき　じゃ　ありません。
