K-3 Children sang several songs to learn the words for family members. They also learned weather expressions, especially, Hace frio--It's cold! They heard the story about The Sun in Spanish.
Monday: K-4 discussed weather in Spanish. They reviewed two new songs, Papa Dedo and Habia una vez una mano. The first song teaches the words for family members. The second teaches several verbs and adjectives. The children love singing songs! They heard the story about El sol, The Sun.
K-5 K-5 also discussed weather, sang two new songs, and heard the story about El sol, The Sun. The children understand so much in Spanish.
Grade 1 Children made a new bilingual book about winter. It is so rewarding to hear them speaking to one another in Spanish while they color the pages of their book. They ask one another for colors or other materials in Spanish! They will complete the book next week and take it home to show parents.
Grade 2 We reviewed the four seasons by making posters about each season. Then, children had toi identify the season by the picture. Children will take home a new mini-book next week.
Grade 3 and 4 Students received a list of adjectives to use in the making of a poster about their personalities. They need to choose 15 or more adjectives to describe themselves and arrange the adjectives on colorful poster. They may also make a Power Point for this project. This is the same project the 5th and 6th graders presented this week. It is due on January 25, since there are no classes next Monday. Please contact me if you need more information, but the students received a detailed informational sheet in class with a list of adjectives to assist them. They may use Spanish only or prepare a bilingual poster with the English translations.
Grades 5 and 6 Students presented their personality posters and Power Points. They did an amazing job with this project. Since there are so many cognates in Spanish, the students are also improving their vocabulary skills in English. I am very proud of our fifth and sixth graders. The homework for Wednesday, January20th, is a report or poster about Segovia, Spain. We have done this assignment with about ten cities already. Fifth grade may use English. Sixth grade needs to complete the project in Spanish only. Most students actually make bilingual posters or reports.
Have a great weekend.
