8th grade Spanish students are learning about "Los Tres Magos" (Three King's Day) which is a celebration observed in Spanish-speaking countries that coincides with Christmas. Most hispanic countries are largely Catholic communities and recognizing Three King's Day is a very important ritual. While Christmas is still observed, the more exciting day for children is not December 25th, but January 6th when the Three Magi come and deliver gifts in children's shoes. Students have been reading and performing skits surrounding this celebration.
7th grade Spanish students did some refresher activities surrounding "Objetos de la clase" and using prepositions (being able to tell others where things are located in the room). The test for this unit will be Thursday 1/16.
6th grade Spanish students will review basic conversation and greetings and move into how to address people in the correct "You" form in Spanish. This concept is difficult at first because "You" does not change in English. "Tú versus Usted" and "Vosotros" versus "Ustedes" are the main forms we will be using. How do address adults, children, elders, people in authority, friends, and family will be addressed.
