To summarize, in grades K through 5th we have covered colors, numbers and started learning a few greetings in Spanish such as “Buenos dias” and “Como estas?” which mean “Good morning” and “How are you?”.  Students have done a marvelous job learning their songs in Spanish and following our daily routine.  Now that they will be introduced to a new set of vocabulary words on a weekly basis, they will learn an action for each word and play more games to challenge their memory.  We will continue to practice our greetings in Spanish and at the same time, begin our new unit of “School”.  (ie: pencil, backpack, crayons, etc.)

Song:          “Buenos dias                            “Good morning”

Games:       frio o caliente                         “hot or cold”

                    electricidad                             “electricity”

                    mochila, mochila                   “backpack, backpack”

         

Grades 6th through 8th, have also done a marvelous job in terms of their efforts in a second language.  We finished our unit on greetings in Spanish.  They practiced their greetings with partners and created a mini dialogue cartoon in Spanish.  We also had a brief lesson on “El dia de los muertos” or “the day of the dead” which is a holiday celebrated in Mexico around this time of year that relates to Halloween and All Souls Day.  Our next unit will be on “La Familia” which is “The family”.  Students will get a chance to describe their family members in Spanish in simple sentence form.  As a project, we will create classroom photo albums.
