En el mes de Septiembre
(in the month of September)...
Kindergarten through Eighth Grade have begun to learn and practice the Spanish language!
Seventh and Eighth Grade are translating a short comical biography titled Berto y Sus Buenas Ideas by Magaly Rodríguez. They have also begun to present their mid-quarter projects on the national symbols, unique characteristics and current events of their assigned Spanish-speaking country.
We searched for a while, but have found a time for 6th Grade Spanish. They are beginning now.
My eager Fifth Graders were bravely lead by classmate Ashley in a Names Game Contest. The students were presented with the challenge of pronouncing all of their classmates' names correctly in Spanish without the help of Maestra (Teacher). If they achieved the challenge, they were promised a small container of slime. There have been six 5th Grade winners so far! Bravo, estudiantes!
Fourth Grade is not far behind with several Names Game “ganadores” (winners) of their own! Fourth Grade has also begun its Spanish-speaking country project. They have drawn out and colored the flag of their country. And now they will begin to research the meaning of the flag colors, the code of arms if any, and some of the history of the country.
Third Grade has practiced “los dias de la semana” (the days of the week), counting in Spanish from zero to 1000, and giving today’s date! Please ask them about it (You could start them off by saying: “Hoy es _______(day of the week), _____ (number) de septiembre.”
First and Second Grades have beautifully articulated the ABCs in Spanish including the four extra sounds that are unique to Spanish (CH,LL,Ñ and RR). They have counted to 40 in Spanish and they have begun to practice the days of the week.
And my youngest scholars, Kindergarten, have drilled the ABCs and colors in Spanish. Upon finishing their color activity, they will begin to learn about “Las Figuras” (Shapes).
