¡Bienvenidos!
During our recent clase de Español,
it was Matthew’s
turn to choose our destination to a Spanish speaking country. After our morning
greeting, he suggested we head to Argentina.
Once we arrived we
gathered in a círculo and reviewed
the vocabulary words for different styles of transportation.
carro - car
bote - boat
autobús - bus
camión - truck
bicicleta - bicycle
tren – train
motocicleta –
motorcycle
avión – airplane
To further reinforce our learning and boost our
visual memory skill we played a game using transportation counter pieces. Four
forms of transportation were used; un
tren verde,
un carro azul, un bote morado, y un avión
anaranjado.
Then, one of the pieces would be removed and the Lechuzas y los Búhos had to guess which piece was missing. Once they
figured it out, they had to identify which piece it was by using its Spanish
word for transportation and its color. What a wonderful time we had playing this
game! The Lechuzas
y los Búhos were so amazing that it wasn’t long before I
needed to add more pieces into the game to make it more challenging. Go ahead.
Try it at home and see for yourselves how smart they are.
Next, to review our
learning of some of our facial features, we sang a song. Using the same verse, we
sang it for each facial feature: ojos,
nariz, boca, y orejas.
Esta es mi cabeza, (This
is my head,)
Estos son mis pies. (These
are my feet.)
Estos son mis ojos. (These are my eyes,)
Uno, dos y tres. (One,
two, three.)
Esta es mi cabeza,
(This is my head,)
Estos son mis pies. (These
are my feet.)
Estas son mis orejas. (These are my ears,)
Uno,
dos y tres. (One,
two, three.)
We finished our class with our
traditional ¡Adios. Hasta luego! song
and Matthew squeezing la vaca. ¡Gracias, Matthew!
¡Hasta
nuestro proximo viaje!
Paz,
Alicia
