Second Grade

Students have been using a variety of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to ask memorized questions and express ideas or thoughts related to family and home with prompting and modeling. We learned songs in Spanish. Please, ask your child to share with you the family song with sign language. We also took the opportunity of the weather being cold, warm, and snowing and we learned to talk about the different weather and seasons. 

Third Grade

Students have been using memorized words and phrases to ask and answer simple questions related to family and home (names of family members, people, and pets we have, rooms of the house, furniture, …). We also learned prepositions of place and we practiced using them in complete sentences locating furniture, things, and family members in the house. Our cultural focus is Spain. We looked at the royal family and the royal palace of Spain and we talked about presidents and kings. 

Fourth Grade

We used memorized words and phrases about family and homes from different cultures to describe how different people live in the world (Social Studies). We learned about Cuba and Puerto Rico. We watched videos about each island and we compared basic cultural practices of their families and ours. We also learned prepositions of place and we practiced using them in complete sentences locating furniture, things, and family members in the house. 

Fifth Grade

We learned how to say some rooms of the house in Spanish and describe where furniture is in different rooms of the house. We looked at pictures of homes and described what we saw. We used the virtual rooms students created with their classroom teacher and we described them in Spanish. 

We learned how to say the members of a family in Spanish.  

Students wrote a letter to an architect describing their dream house in Spanish.
