It has been too long since I posted an update on what we are doing in class! Apparently having a baby in the house takes up a lot of time! :)
All of the grades just finished up a unit on los numeros. 4th and 5th grades learned their numbers up to 100 (and beyond) while 3rd grade focused on numbers up to 40. We played many games to help us practice our numbers. To finish the unit students took a short quiz in class. Quizzes will be returned home next week. In the upcoming week students will create an account with the website Duolingo. This is a fantastic platform for helping people of all ages learn any language they desire! I have used it myself to study Portuguese and it is extremely user friendly and teaches the language in a fun and engaging way. Students will be able to go go through the lessons and practice their Spanish at home and in the classroom. I know they will enjoy this! Upcoming units: 5th grade: Sports and Famous Hispanic Athletes 4th grade: Describing where I live (North Carolina products, Landforms, Action words) 3rd grade: Parts of the body and adjectives Hasta luego! Senora Palacios ¡Hola a todos! We are off to a great 2016-2017 school year in Spanish room 114! We have been busy learning new vocabulary and reviewing previous topics as well! Here are some highlights of the last few weeks!
Third grade: Since it is their first year of Spanish, we have been learning los dias de la semana (days of the week) with the Addams Family theme song and los meses del año (the months of the year) with the Macarena song. Ask your child to teach them to you! We are able to describe the weather and will practice saying weather phrases as news reporters and weatherman. Stay tuned! Fourth/Fifth grade: We have been reviewing weather phrases and describing the weather each day. We are also reviewing los saludos (greetings) and how to answer simple questions in Spanish, like ¿Como te llamas? ¿Cuantos años tienes? ¿De donde eres?. Students will create a texting dialogue between two people using these phrases. All of the videos we use in class are on my website. To find them, go to the STUDENTS tab on the homepage. On that page click on SONGS-VIDEOS and scroll to find your favorite video! Carnaval Latino

Hello everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday break. I spent two weeks in Ecuador with my husband and his family and had a wonderful time! Next week all of the classes will have a short quiz to wrap up the units we have been learning. Students have been given a study guide to use to help them review for the quiz. Because the topics we studied are basic topics, there are many online resources/games-songs to help them. Below is useful vocabulary from the units: Weather: Hace buen tiempo = It's good weather. Hace mal tiempo = It's bad weather. Hace calor = It's hot. Hace frio = It's cold. Hace sol = It's sunny. Llueve = It's rainy. El cielo está azul = The sky is blue. El cielo está nublado = The sky is cloudy. Review weather phrases using this video. Numbers (increments of 10): 10 = diez 20 = veinte 30 = treinta 40 = cuarenta 50 = cincuenta 60 = sesenta 70 = setenta 80 = ochenta 90 = noventa 100 = cien *Part of the quiz will be the students counting as high as they can verbally to me. For students in 3rd grade, a goal would be for them to be able to count to 30. For students in 4th and 5th grade, a goal would be for them to be able to count to 50. Please review the increments of 10 to help them reach these goals! Practice counting to 30 with this video and to 50+ with this video. ABCs (only 3rd grade): Review letter names using this video. Feelings (only 4th and 5th grade): Review feelings using this video. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have. ¡Gracias! ¡Que tengan un lindo dia! Señora Palacios |
