Students have been working hard in Spanish, applying what they know through a variety of methods. You may hear the lovely sound of your child singing one of their favorite tunes from our class, as all of them enjoy music in Spanish. In some cases we use music for brain breaks and in others, a song may be the core piece of our lesson.
Primary students have been singing “Caminando por la selva” from Super Simple Español. They are learning about animals and have been using their prior knowledge to play charades and discuss what animals eat and where they live.
Lower Elementary students have been creating their own games to practice colors and shapes in Spanish. They are practicing collaboration and developing leadership skills by working together to try each other’s games and cheering each other on in the process.
Upper Elementary has taken on the task of learning as much about food in Spanish as possible before our upcoming field trip in March. They want to be ready to order their lunch in Spanish, and you can tell by the engagement and effort exerted during Spanish! This week, students began to generate books on Book Creator, expressing their likes and dislikes of certain foods and beverages.
Middle School has been cultivating their comprehension skills as we read about important figures in Black History. We are specifically focusing on afrolatinx singers, politicians, actors, athletes, and authors who are a mixture of African and Latinx heritage. Additionally, 8th years are working on an amazing project which will be showcased shortly after the middle school play.
