4/5 Los Planetas

The 4/5 class was a hard act to follow after their excellent performance at assembly! They performed a short play about the planets all in Spanish and they were proud of their hard work! Acting out the words really hooks the brain and the positive feedback from the audience inspires students to increase their risk taking in conversation. I am looking forward to seeing the students use this new vocabulary as they begin written projects about their own imaginary planet worlds this week. Wonderfully creative ideas have already entered the planning process!

K/1 Assembly

K/1 Spanish presented at assembly Friday! The audience loved learning along with them as they taught an interactive song about cooking utensils, "Soy una Taza!" They also shared a song about the continents. They are learning about the world around them and all of the languages that are spoken. This will provide a good basis for visualizing where Spanish is spoken and why things like weather and customs may differ from our own.

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!
