Patwin- Beginning ASL

Hello everyone!

Over the past month, our class has been learning food signs. We've done a lot of fun activities related to fruits, vegetables, meat, eating times, and restaurants. Some of the activities have included scavenger hunts and a fake restaurant!

This first image is from our scavenger hunt. I signed the food word and the student would find it in the classroom. Then come up to the board and put it in the correct category.

These three images are from our fake restaurant! It was called the 'Patwin ASL Cafe'. It was of course Deaf friendly so the students signed their order to "the waitress" (me). After they ordered their food, they got to draw out each item they chose. This included utensils, entree, drinks, and desserts. The students did very well using the vocabulary. 

Currently, we are making cookie cookbooks. The cookbooks will be completed this upcoming week. The students are very excited to learn how to bake their favorite cookie! I have found actual recipes so the measurements are accurate. 

Thank you for reading!

This week our class got to open their cafés to the class and serve each other a meal. Students got to decorate menus and they chose what foods they would be serving.

They had to go shopping from the store I set up full of plastic foods. We worked together to add up how much each item would be and students had to prepare their fake money accordingly. It was challenging for them to ask for the items in French using numbers but they are always so supportive and helpful with each other so it was fun!

On our café day, students got to set up their café with plastic foods and serving utensils. Then we went around to everyone's café and everyone had about 5 minutes to tell us about what they had prepared. This is an example of what students said:

"Bienvenue!
C'est mon café rouge.
Il y a une salad, des fruits,
les croissants, le jus de pomme, etc."

Then everyone took turns ordering different items with the phrase:

"Je voudrais ____ s'il vous plaît".

This was such a fun activity for the students because they were challenged to lead the class for a couple minutes and they all got so in to their menus. They were all excited to set up their cafés and it was awesome to see how everyone had such unique ideas.

Here are some pictures!!:

Nuestro "Libro de comida"

We started second semester by learning new food vocabulary in Spanish. Our class was first introduced to frutas y vegetales (fruits and vegetables).  For this activity we cut out images from grocery  store ads and used them to make our own Libro de comida (Food Book). 

Frutas: Durazno, Fresa, Naranja, Limón, Tomate

We also learned "Meal vocabulary" such as: desayuno (breakfast), almuerzo (lunch), cena (dinner), postre (dessert) y bocadillos (snacks). 

Once we finished our booklets, we shared with our classmates and read to each other what we wrote. Some of us wrote about our favorite foods, vegetables and fruits. While others wrote descriptions of each item. 

We are excited to take our books home and share with our parents.

In addition to frutas y verduras, we also included meat and dairy vocabulary in our books. We were able to use the vocabulary words we learned throughout these past weeks to practice ordering at a restaurant in Spanish.

Palabras de vocabulario: 

Frutas                Verduras              Carne                          Lácteos

manzana             brocoli                 carne de res                 leche

Beginning Spanish-Pioneer Elementary School (2016-2017)

FALL SEMESTER: Beginning Spanish at Pioneer Elementary School

During fall semester students learned a variety of topics and vocabulary such as: los colores (colors), animales (animals), el abecedario y vocals (the alphabet and vowels in Spanish), meses del año(months of the year), días de la semana (days of the week), miembros de la familia (members of the family), Figuras geométricas (shapes), útiles escolares (school supplies), and saludos y cómo presentarse (greetings and how to introduce themselves).

Since, my class includes students from Kinder to 3^rd grade, I make sure we do activities that are beneficial and fun for every student. We do cuentitos (short stories), art work, flashcards, and presentations. In addition, we love teamwork, to play games, and to watch educational and fun videos 😊

Dear Parents,

Here is a snippet of what we have done in Spanish class these last weeks. We learned about: La familia, las partes del cuerpo, los animales, la ropa, los meses del año, among other fun topics! I have included some pictures that include vocabulary words, that you can use to practice more with your children at home! :)

 

Birch Lane- Intermediate Week 19

Hi all, so this week in our Spanish class we have been reviewing family vocabulary as well as working on developing sentences that include "to have" and/or "to give". The kids have been transitioning from describing things they have to describing things those around them have. They have also been practicing questions and how to express their needs politely.

Here are some pictures from this week:
