Well, we've come to the end of another great year. This year was different due to a greater group size, but every student contributed in a different way. With respect, we helped each other, and learned from each other. We had lots of great activities at TALK, and here are some of the latest pictures:
FOOD Lesson - COMIDA
In pairs, the students asked each other which vegetables they prefered in Spanish by saying:
¿Te gusta .... o ... ? Then, they wrote down the answers. Here are some sample worksheets:
*Note ambos means both & ninguno means none of them.
Numeros Lesson + Me gusta-Mi favorito (I like- My favorite) + Animals & days of the week review
Some of the children's responses I most enjoyed reading about their preferences:
I was very impressed with the creative book covers the students designed for their story book of preferences:
Viernes de Pachanga
Every Friday, we either learned about a new Latin American/Spanish musical rhythm or we learned about some Spanish instruments. Here are some pictures from our lesson about Colombian instruments.
The students created: Guacharacas, Acordeones & Cajas.
Guacharacas - tubes with ridges |
Acordeones - Accordions |
Cajas - Drum-like instruments |
We used these instruments to play vallenato |
Some of the features of this particular Colombian rhythm, which we discussed in class. |
Vamos al Restaurante - Ordering at a restaurant in Spanish
Each child, randomly picked one of these roles: cocinero/a (chef), mesero/a (waiter), or cliente (customer) |
Los cocineros "prepared" the food orders using homemade clay |
Los meseros took orders in Spanish, and los clientes ordered food in Spanish. |
We took turns to make sure everyone had a chance to participate in a different role |
Happy Holidays everyone! We'll see you next year! 2014
