Back online!

Finally back online after resolving a long tech issue! Check back in September for current class updates.

Where is the missing classroom object? Students played a game  where they had to hide an object and their classmates had to try and guess in Spanish what was missing. Fun way to practice vocabulary!!

Bienvenidos!

Bienvenidos a la clase de espanol! Welcome back!  This year we will be answering a variety of questions such as: Why does learning Spanish make me a better citizen? What are the effects of eco and archaeotourism is South America? Can learning Spanish be fun? Why is free trade important to the artisans of Guatemala? Not to mention lots and lots of speaking and writing practice so we can better communicate with our friends from Spain!

So far, Middle School classes are busy creating art projects that express themselves in the style of Spanish artist Joan Miro, PreK and K/1 are learning about the colors of fall, 2/3's are learning about homes and 4/5's are learning to use basic conversations. And, we are all practicing how to use classroom phrases and questions in Espanol! We are off to a great start!

Peru!

Middle School classes enjoyed a Power Point presentation on Peru from Parker parents Luis and Birgit. Luis is a native of Peru and Birgit has traveled extensively in the country. Presented all in Spanish, students learned about the 4 regions of Peru, traditional dances, foods and fun facts and had the opportunity to ask questions. Did you know that Lake Titicaca could be considered the highest lake in the world? And, that people and animals live on floating islands in the lake made up of plants? How about some guinea pig,? We may think "pet", but in Peru it is a delicacy enjoyed by many. Have you ever seen the "Danza de lasTijeras"? (The scissor dance) These are just a few of the interesting things we saw today. Thanks Luis and Birgit for a great morning!
