This week, we will begin working on our STEAM projects. For Spanish, we will be creating our own storybooks in Spanish. We are splitting into groups, picking a story of their choice or creating their own, translating it into Spanish, and illustrating a book. The books must be at least 10 pages with 30 words on a page, along with an illustration.

Feliz Navidad!!!!! We learned popular Christmas words in Spanish this week. To practice using and saying these words, we play the popular game, charades. We acted out the words and the students had to guess the word in Spanish. We also learned common spanish christmas traditions to compare with our traditions.
This past week was a fun week of review. We played Kahoots which is an online trivia game. For 3rd through 6th grade, we did trivia over the adjectives and the verb Ser. For SK through 2nd, we did trivia over the colors and numbers. We will not have a quiz next week. We will be learning Christmas terms and doing Christmas activities in Spanish.

Hombre-man Mujer-woman Alto-tall Bajo-short Rubio-blonde Moreno-brunette Guapo-handsome Feo-ugly Ambicioso-ambitious Perezoso-lazy Cómico-funny Serio-serious We began learning descriptive adjectives for personality traits and physical appearance. We learned common words to describe both men and women as well as how to put them into a sentence in Spanish. We will continue with this for the next few weeks, learning how to conjugate the verb -ser so that they may be able to describe anyone they may see and learn how to build a sentence in Spanish. We will have a quiz next week on the powerpoint I gave with those descriptive adjectives. The handout will not be on the quiz just the words I pointed out on the slide show. The words are below in English.

I enjoyed seeing everyone's hard work come into play. We did a little review at White Station location. We went over all colors, numbers, and animals. With Sk through 2nd, we played a fun game of Uno to practice with our colors and numbers. They had to say the number and color in Spanish or else they drew two cards. Next we will be starting all new units for everyone SK through 6th. We will be learned more vocabulary to add.
I enjoyed seeing everybody's presentation this week at White Station. I know the class as well as myself learned a bunch of new information about Mexico. Presentations will begin at Cordova next week. In SK through 2nd, we will continue adding on to our numbers in fun ways. We enjoyed stations this week. We used the iPad to play games. We played memory game with numbers, and we did a color by numbers in Spanish.
At White Station, we continued to work on our group projects. We will present next week! In SK through 2nd, we went over our number 1-5 and played a matching memory game with the numbers and their spanish word.
Cordova will work on our group projects next week since we missed this week due to Columbus Day. We continued to work on our Mexico projects this week. With everything that is going on, we decided to push back the due date/presentation date to give everyone more time. We will present the week of October 17-21st.
In SK through 2nd, we learned a little about Aztec culture in Mexico. We made Aztec Sun Art using paper plates, construction paper, and our art supplies. You can find pictures posted in my class picture section of my webpage. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe fall break!!!!!!!! This week, we learned about Mexico!!!! In grades 3rd through 6th, we did group projects. We split into groups of 3 or 4 and picked a topic out of a hat. The topics were food, fashion, history, sports, entertainment, landmarks/tourism, wildlife, and geography. Each group must do research on their topic in Mexico and present it to the class. We will be working on these, again, next week. We will present the week after fall break.
In SK through 2nd, we learned fun facts about Mexico and got to work in our own little activity book on Mexico. We colored the Mexican flag, we practiced writing certain words such as Mexico, flag, sombrero, maracas, etc, and we wrote down five fun facts we learned about Mexico. |
