Some of the fun was caught in action! Our year of language learning together is off to a great start!
Check out what we’ve been up to in class...
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
1st graders began by working with number s &
the calendar. They can practice with el calendario
on my website. Look for a fun flap book that’s
helping us practice with weather words that will
come home next week! ¿Cómo está el tiempo?
4th graders have been practicing telling time in Spanish. Students have
had a lot of fun with the interactive clock linked to my website & are showing
they understand with their whiteboards. They’re practicing using the correct vowel
sounds to write about time. They have learned the difference between: de la mañana,
de la tarde, & de la noche. Ask your 4th grader when you use each during the day
and ask for our actions for each time of day. Encourage practice on my website.
3rd graders were visited by a very special guest-
Maeve’s mom! She taught us about a Spanish style of
dance called, flamenco. Can your 3rd grader remember
the Flamenco moves that they learned? They loved the
story of a bull called Ferdinando & made their own
toros, too. Their ability to read a book about España
will amaze you when it comes home!
2nd graders have been studying timelines.
Timelines help us talk about el pasado, el presente,
& el futuro. This timeline shows the birthdays/
independence days of the U.S., México, & members
of our class. Ask your second grader to use picture
clues to tell you what their timeline of the history of
groups of people in Mexico is about when it comes
home next week.
K
Kindergarteners have learned so much already.
They can practice with feelings & escuela counting mini
books that come home. To access interactive books for
help, visit my website. Now we’re learning about
schools here & around the world. These little ones are
very enthusiastic about learning a new language!
