Marching into March

6th grade Spanish students engaged in a ¿Quién es? activity this week (a "Guess Who?" type game in Spanish that centered around Animals). Students are using their knowledge of body parts, colors, numbers, and descriptive words to understand and describe animals they are familiar with. For example:
"Este animal es un tipo de gato. Vive en Africa. Tiene rayas negras y anaranjadas. Es muy feroz." (Answer: El Tigre).

7th grade Spanish students have been learning AR verb conjugation. They have learned the melody "Conjugation Back" to help them recall their endings. They have learned a Spanish game called "La Lucha" that has aided in their comprehension and completed an AR verb conjugation puzzle. Being able to accurately conjugate is essential for being comprehensible in another language. Next week, they will learn ER/IR verb conjugation so they can start speaking in richer sentences.

8th grade Spanish students completed their gallery walk this week. They also watched clips from the film "Sweet 15." We will be begin MovieTalk this coming Monday. Please encourage your children to hand in their projects if they have not done so already. Projects will not be accepted any later thank Monday, March 10th. Thank you and have a great weekend.
