In the last few weeks, the students have been working really hard. They learned about classroom items. We also took an imaginative adventure trip to the Spanish speaking countries and this week we are working on the seasons, weather, days, and months.
Continuing Spanish I and II students identified where countries were located. They also colored flags and studied the capitals of many Spanish countries. The students also made booklets using the vocabulary they learned. At the end of the quarter, students will bring their work home. Please take some time to ask your child about what they learned in Spanish class.
Continuing Spanish II students have turned in a wonderful project. These students made a passport and went on a pretend visit to the countries of their interest.
Beginning 3-5 did a research project about South American countries. At the end of the week, each child had the opportunity to share their final project. With this project, we reviewed capitals, names of countries, money, location and much more. I am also very impressed with the work that students in this elective have done with their cut-out people at home. Many students have also turned in a report about what they learned on their country (cut-out people). Excelente!
In Intermediate elective, the students and I decided to research many facts about my home country, Colombia. They learned the capital, money, president, rivers, and many other facts about Colombia. They also made a small video clip on what they learned. Soon, it will be available on our website. This week, students in this elective are learning vocabulary that will allow them to forecast the weather in Spanish.
Our South American cookies turned out very good. The students in Advanced Spanish learned a great amount of information about South America. All of the students in this class were encouraged to do research on South America. The research was based on South America, Las Pampas, the Amazon River, La cordillera de los Andes and the capital of each Spanish speaking country in this continent. Advanced students are also learning to do a forecast in Spanish using more challenging vocabulary.
The project was a great success. While decorating the cookie, the students presented their facts on South America. It facilitated the understanding of the facts, plus the teacher clarification.
Thank you to the parents that made donations for the projects. Also big thanks to Maddie’s mom and Adeline’s mom for helping us with the baking.
Next week, we are going to be learning about clothing. Beginners will focus on learning vocabulary and questions/answers. Intermediate and advanced students will work on conjugating the verb to wear “llevar.” Intermediate students will focus on Yo, El y Ella (I, he and she). Meanwhile, advanced students will conjugate using singular and plural pronouns. Both classes will be exposed to challenging activities according to their levels.
Next week, all of the students are encouraged to wear fall colors (orange, yellow, brown, red or green).
Also, I would appreciate if you send one of two pieces of used clothing; pants, dresses, blouses, socks, etc… or accessories such as belt, necklaces, earrings, etc... Please write names on it; I will be sending it back at the end of the week.
Once again, thank you for helping us to make this program a big success.
