Octubre y noviembre

In the last few weeks we have learn about El Tiempo (the weather), los colores, los animales and about "El dia de los muertos" (The day of the dead) which is a traditional celebration in Latin American countries, specially in Mexico. El dia de los muertos is a happy celebration where the whole family is part of. We made papel picado in our Clase de Español to celebrate El dia de los muertos!

To learn more about el dia de los muertos go here.

We have been having a lot of fun in clase de Español. Some of the games we have played are: pop!, Spanish Twister and memory games. We have also started singing songs to help us remember the new things we learn every week. For some online activities en Español go here.

Feliz dia de gracias! Happy Thanksgiving! enjoy the break :)

¿Como estás?

On the second week of Spanish class we practiced how to say:
How are you? (¿Cómo estás?) and how to answer when someone asks us:
Bien: Good
Muy bien: Very good
Más o menos: So so
Mal: Not good
Muy mal: Really not good

Enrichment words for those students that had Spanish last year:
Triste: Sad
Feliz: Happy
Cansado(a): Tired
Enojado(a): Mad

We also practiced more greeting words: Buenos dias (Good morning), Buenas tardes (Good afternoon) and Buenas noches (Good evening/Good night). ¡Go here to practice the (saludos) greetings en español!

We also practiced las vocales (the vowels) i and o and words that have those vowels in them:
imán: magnet
silla: chair
jirafa: giraffe
oso: bear
mono: monkey
perro: dog
and others

¡Chau!

¡Bienvenidos!

Welcome to our Spanish class blog!
We started Spanish Enrichment this week. We are having so much fun! I am excited to meet students eager to lear Spanish and I am also happy to see many of my last year students coming back to learn more Español.
The first week we are learning greetings and practicing the vowels A and E. Vowels in Spanish have only one sound.
Here is a link to practice the alphabet (El alfabeto) if you clik on the letter you will be able to hear its name/sound.
¡Que tengan un lindo día!
