We are back from break and ready to hit the ground running!
1st is moving rapidly into a new unit. Yesterday was a bit of repaso (review). We did a fun worksheet on the calendario. It included vocabulary on the weather, days of the week, months, seasons and even colores!
After the brain warm up, a lot can be forgotten after a week off, we drew ourselves and labeled as many body parts that we could remember. You could see the wheels turning as they sparked their brains trying to remember the extensive words!
Today we dive right into reading comprehension! Since our Spanish brains read different than our English brains it is important to realize the sounds and accents. We are going to be reading beginner level Spanish books together. We begin class by reading together then move into individual placement. This allows me to gain insight into the students reading capacities and find areas for improvement. As we move into the second trimester class focuses on applying all learned vocabulary to real world situations.
I am attaching a playlist from youtube that is helpful for students to read along with beginner level Spanish stories.
