Español con las Lechuzas y los Búhos: Formas (Shapes)

¡Bienvenidos! During la clase de Español, it was Penny’s turn to choose our destination to a Spanish speaking country. Following our morning salutations, she suggested we head to Argentina. Upon our return flight, we gathered in a círculo.

Once settled, we read Scholastic’s book, Figuras Geométricas, which introduced us to the Spanish vocabulary words for basic geometrical shapes.

vocabulary words:

circle - círculo

oval - óvalo

triangle - triángulo

rectangle - rectángulo

square - cuadrado

rhombus - rombo

star - estrella

heart – corazón

Afterwards, we practiced the words by using a wooden puzzle with “chunky” pieces and matched the vocabulary word to the shape that was being held up. To further reinforce our learning we played the “Swatter Game” using three shapes; círculo, rombo, y cuadrado. Las Lechuzas y los Búhos did great! It was astonishing to hear how much they already knew. 

We finished our class with our traditional ¡Adios. Hasta luego! song and Penny squeezing la vaca. ¡Gracias, Penny!

¡Hasta nuestro proximo viaje!

Paz,

Alicia
