As a teacher, I think it is so important for my students to see me learning new things to better my teaching. Recently, Sra. Jones, Sra. Rivera, and I had the opportunity to travel to Birmingham and see another teacher who teaches elementary Spanish. We brought home some great ideas on how to grow our program. Their school has had Spanish for several years now, and I really see our program heading on the right track. It has been so fun to bring some new ideas to the classroom that I learned from her. Ask you child to show you the nino/nina song or the alto/para song. We have even learned some new Spanish verbs! They can tell you how to say march (marcha), jump (brinca), and dance (baila) in Spanish! Wow!
We have been learning in first and second grade about clothing. We have been having a competition between the classes and I cannot wait to announce the winners!
Our kindergarten students have been learning how to say "Me Gusta" (I like) and "No me gusta" (I do not like). We added these to the colors and the kids were able to tell me what colors they like and do not like in Spanish. Check out their kindergarten portfolios which will be sent home soon! This is just a sampling of what we have been learning this year. :)
