Lucrecia

One of our students was graciously hosted in Lucrecia's (Spanish singer) home during the exchange to Barcelona. A multiple award winner, Lucrecia's music and work on the children's show Los Lunnis, has become a wonderful tool for our classroom. Enjoy a sample of her talented work!

Barcelona Boot Camp!

"Barcelona Boot Camp" training is over and soon 9 adventurous middle school students along with 2 courageous teachers will be off to explore Barcelona as they embark on our first ever exchange trip to Spain. We had an amazing time hosting students from the St. Peter's School last spring and we are looking forward to seeing our friends from Spain again! Stay tuned for more pics and updates... 

Design Thinking

Spanish III students are taking part in a pilot project for a Global Learning Institute. We have been using "design thinking" to brainstorm lessons our students can teach to others to learn Spanish. Here is a glimpse into our first days of the process...

What If????

We had dances and chatting and fun apps...

Or, what if....

We could build models that teach concepts? 

4/5 Games

4/5's are using games to show concepts they learned this term. After creation they will test them, fine tune them and then play them with the younger students to see what they can teach. Naming just a few..."The Chocolate Game", "The Tornado" and "The Lilypad"! 


Coming soon...The "All Spanish" puppet theater brought to you by the 4/5 class. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our puppets from art class to Spanish class to begin the adventure!

Dame tu Mano - Give Me Your Hand

K/1 students dance to Spanish song "Dame tu Mano" from the Los Lunnis show.
