2018-2019

Welcome to Spanish Class!  We have lots of exciting things to learn in 1st and 2nd Grade Spanish this year!  My goal is to teach the class 90-100% in Spanish.  We'll use actions, pictures, stories, songs, videos, and a lot of repetition to make sure each student understands and is successful.  Be sure to check this blog often for videos of vocabulary words, links to songs we're singing in class, and other fun resources. 

Here's a quick overview of what we'll be learning...

First Semester

• First Semester Bible verse:  Coming Soon!
• Unit 1:  La Familia de Galletas (The Cookie Family:  colors, family vocabulary)
• Unit 2:  La Mariposa Monarca (The Monarch Butterfly:  colors, counting, simple migration and life cycle related vocabulary)
• Unit 3:  El Burrito de Belén (The Donkey of Bethlehem: a Christmas vocabulary unit based on a traditional Venezuelan Christmas carol)

Second Semester

• Second Semester Bible verse:  Coming Soon!
• Unit 4:  Bebé Tiburón (Baby Shark:  family, size vocabulary)
• Unit 5:  Chocolate (Chocolate:  Expressing likes and dislikes, descriptive adjectives, family review, traditional Mexican rhyme)
• Unit 6:  Los Gatos (The Cats:  colors, counting, pet vocabulary)

Into each of these units, I'll be incorporating "Los Súper Siete"--The Super Seven verbs.  These seven verbs are some of the most common verbs in the Spanish language that will allow students to communicate about a variety of topics:

• hay = there is/there are
• es = he/she is
• está en = he/she is located in
• tiene = he/she has
• quiere = he/she wants
• va a = he/she goes to
• le gusta = he/she likes

During each class period, we will also practice greetings, manners, weather, seasons, and basic classroom vocabulary in Spanish.
