VOCABULARY REVIEW
As the school year comes to a close, Spanish students are wrapping up their journey with a final vocabulary review to reinforce everything they've learned before heading off to high school. This review gives them a chance to revisit key words and phrases from throughout the year, helping them feel confident and prepared for the next level of Spanish. Through interactive games, group activities, and creative projects, students reflect on their growth and celebrate how far they’ve come. It’s a meaningful way to end the year.
APRIL-MAY
UNIT 6
How do art and entertainment influence my identity?
In Spanish class, students explored the rich traditions, art, and values of Spanish-speaking countries by creating original stories that reflect the culture of those regions. As they researched various customs, folklore, and artistic styles, they gained a deeper understanding of the diverse perspectives and creative expressions found across the Spanish-speaking world. By writing and illustrating their own cultural stories in Spanish, students not only practiced language skills but also connected more meaningfully with the people and traditions behind the language. This project encouraged both creativity and cultural appreciation, making language learning a more immersive and personal experience.
