Over the past month, students in Spanish class have been growing their communication skills through engaging activities that help them connect language to their everyday lives.
In Grades 2 and 3, students are studying la familia, mis amigos y yo. They are learning to talk about themselves, their families, and their friends while creating personal family trees. This work introduces key vocabulary such as familia, árbol genealógico, parientes, and generación. Students are developing as caring and reflective learners as they make personal connections and respect different family structures. ATL skills include research, communication, and social skills, with strong ties to units of Inquiry related to identity, relationships, and Who We Are.
In Grade 4, students are focusing on descriptions. They are learning how to describe people, animals, places, and objects, beginning with a self-portrait and labeled physical features. This process will lead to a final descriptive paragraph and an oral presentation. Students are demonstrating growth as Communicators and Risk-Takers, using ATL skills such as writing, speaking, organization, and reflection.
