¡Hola padres! We have completed our second week of school and also our unit on greetings. This week as well as reviewing ¿cómo estas? we began learning ¿cómo te llamas? Me llamo....or "what is your name?" and "my name is....". Now the trick is having the scholars differentiate between the two questions and responding appropriately to each question. I will continue to practice with them in class as well as when I see them around campus or in P.E.
In terms of integrating the first grade curriculum, this week I had the children listen to the continents said in Spanish on the quizlet website. For some reason, Asia was not included, but I went ahead and just said it myself. The scholars practiced listening to the words as well as saying them and locating them on the map. Here is the link I used: http://quizlet.com/395910/the-seven-continents-in-spanish-flash-cards/
For Kinder, I contined our study on igual y diferente with a matching game which they are also working on in math. I plan to continue matching with them next week as we move into our lesson on classroom objects. We also worked on completed our lesson on greetings.
Each month, I also intend to highlight a Spanish speaking country. This lesson will take place on
Wednesdays and will rotate with a different class every week. This month we are studying Cuba.
We talked about Havana, its capitol, the fact that it has both beaches and mountains, we talked
about how many people ride bikes instead of driving cars due to the warm weather, we talked
about where Cuba is located and about its flag and how it is modeled after ours.
In P.E. for both classes I did my best to incorporate numbers as we counted our saltos or jumping
jacks, and plan to work on colors next week as we work with the parachute and hula hoops. I'll let
you know how it goes.
Next week for both grades, we will begin our study on the classroom and objects within it. Have a great weekend!
Adiós,
Sra. Hamilton
