¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Here's a quick overview of what we have been learning across grade levels in Spanish this past month or so! 

In Kindergarten and 1^st grade, we have been learning about colors and shapes. We finished this past week off by learning a fun turkey song. Ask your child to sing it to you for Thanksgiving. 

Your 2^nd graders just finished up a colors unit, where they learned to read, write, and talk about color words. We also learned some fun Thanksgiving vocabulary and a fun song. 

3^rd grade finished learning the numbers to 20, and moved on to learning the body parts. We finished up that unit with a fun project in class.   

In 4^th grade, we learned numbers to 50 and just finished our classroom objects unit, which incorporated possessive pronouns.  

The 5^th graders finished numbers to 100 and learned to tell time in Spanish.

And in 8^th grade, we finished up our classroom objects unit with a fun backpack project and moved on to adjectives, learning about "los opuestos" (opposites). We also learned the difference between the verbs “ser” and “estar” and how to conjugate those irregular verbs for the various personal pronouns. We also learned a bit about Hispanic culture and Día de los Muertos, and learned how to conjugate regular verbs.

I hope everyone has a wonderful break and I'm excited to dive into some new stuff after Thanksgiving!

Update

   It has been awhile since my last post, so here is a brief overview of the past month or so: 

   

   In Kindergarten, first, and second grade, we learned different weather phrases through various activities, such as a song with hand motions, read-alouds, and different in-class activities. We have just started learning about clothing. In third grade, we just finished learning about clothing and have just started learning about animals. Fourth grade just wrapped up our weather unit with a pamphlet project. We have just begun learning rules regarding masculine and feminine nouns. This is a concept that affects which form of an adjective to use when speaking Spanish. Fifth grade reviewed numbers through 100, and learned about math terms. Next, we’ll be telling time. In 7^th grade, we’re wrapping up the term with a cumulative review of what we've learned- greetings, colors, numbers, days, months, nouns, and adjectives.
