¡Bienvenidos! During clase de Español, it was Lois’ turn to choose our destination to a
Spanish speaking country. After our traditional morning greeting in Spanish,
she suggested we head to Argentina. Upon our return, we settled into this
Spanish speaking country and gathered in a círculo.
Since we start all
our clases determining what mode of
transportation we need to take to get to our destination, we thought it would
be great to learn some forms of moving. So, we began our clase de Español revising the Spanish vocabulary words for some
types of transportation as well as learning new ones.
We read Barron’s
book, “Transportation/El transporte.” This book gave us the opportunity to
connect the words for different kinds of transportation to its corresponding
picture.
carro - car
bote - boat
autobús - bus
camión - truck
bicicleta - bicycle
excavadora – digger
tren – train
motocicleta –
motorcycle
avión – airplane
After
the read aloud, we reviewed the words by using life-like illustrations of
different styles of transportation. Once the picture was placed on the ground, every Lechuza y Búho was encouraged to say in
Spanish which mode was their favorite. One by one they took a turn and began by
saying, Mi favorite es ______ (My
favorite is _______), and finished the statement with their choice.
Next,
we played the Swatter Game using three different styles of transportation; bote, avión, y carro. What a fruitful
and fun way to help las Lechuzas y los
Búhos reinforce learning!
We finished our class with our
traditional song, Adios, hasta luego, and
Lois squeezing la vaca. ¡Gracias, Lois!
¡Hasta nuestro proximo viaje!
Paz,
Alicia
