PrintEn la clase de Espanol estamos aprendiendo a:
All of the grades practice the sign of the cross and a prayer in Spanish.
Pre-K and Kinder: All the Spanish basics with songs and body movements. Pre-K is concentrating on learning the colors. We take a color per week and we pronounce it, decode it, and color with it. We are using beads to practice counting up to 20. I will be using some cereal to identify color as well as practice our counting and our sense of touch and taste. Kinder is concentrating on the alphabet and phonics as well as counting with beads from 1-20 and will also be having cereal to identify our senses: sight, touch, taste.
1st Grade: We finished our unit of shapes and we did have lots of fun. We are now on our Family unit learning the family names of our immediate families. We will move on to the days of the week, and three very important words: Hoy (today), Manana (tomorrow) and Ayer (yesterday).
2nd Grade: Second grade has been busy learning the personal pronouns and pretty soon we will start using certain verbs with our pronouns. We will actually be conjugating but it will be done thru games using a verb chart and rewards.
3rd Grade: PETS is one of our favorite subjects in third grade because we have the opportunity to learn the adjectives to describe our pets or our imaginary pets. The first step is to learn the adjectives and sentence structure in Spanish. 2nd step is to learn to translate the introduction sentences. 3rd step is to write sentences describing our pets by color, by shape, and by describing their movements, their emotions and their qualities. The 4th step is to put it all together in a paragraph. The 5th step is to read our paragraph to the class and show our pet’s pictures. We are currently in step three, so we should be finished just before Thanksgiving vacation.
4th Grade: We have been reviewing our AR verbs and making a chart on sixteen different verbs which will be used during our next lessons in our books. This gives us practice on writing, pronouncing and the different conjugations of the verb with all the personal pronouns.
5th Grade: We are also using our AR verb chart as well as the verb “to go” IR and all the places that we go to.
6th Grade: AR verb conjugation in the present is intense in this grade, so we will be using AR, ER and IR verbs for the rest of the year used in many different ways. Writing sentences using correct grammar and sentence structure can be a little challenging.
7th Grade: We are reviewing our verbs and sentence grammar by writing different types of sentences using all kinds of nouns, articles, using two verbs in a sentence and new vocabulary.
8th Grade: We have been practicing our verbs with sentence creativity and verb conjugation in the present. Our next step is to use the correct form of verb conjugation in a paragraph and than we will be moving on to AR verbs in the PAST.
It is so very rewarding to see shining eyes and big smiles at any grade level when they are confident of themselves in using a new language!
