This month at FWM students kept working on their Spanish greetings and the calendar. In addition, they are improving their Spanish vocabulary. Students from Primary, Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary and Middle School listened carefully to the Spanish books and songs and participated in interactive games that were displayed during class.
Primary students became engaged in learning the six basic colors in Spanish such as: rojo, azul, amarillo, verde, anaranjado y morado through Spanish Montessori lessons that were left on the language shelves of each class for the students to practice for the entire week.
Lower Elementary students also learned twelve basic colors in Spanish such as: rojo, azul, amarillo, verde, morado, anaranjado, blanco, negro, gris, café, rosado y crema. They learned these colors through Spanish Montessori Lessons that were presented in class and left in their classroom to be practiced during the week.
Upper Elementary Students put in hard work learning the Spanish ABCs and recognizing and separating the words into syllables which helped them to be able to read short stories in Spanish.
Middle Schoolers learned to talk about their regular daily activities, tell where they are from and what do they like or don’t like to do. They also learned how to describe rooms of the house and household items, indicate the order of things, and how to describe themselves and others. Finally, they learned how to identify people and things.
In addition, Upper Elementary and Middle School students learned about the Culture and History behind the celebration of “Dia de los Muertos” and how widespread this celebration is in Spanish speaking countries.
