¡Qué delicioso!

Semester exam time means cooking time in Spanish 1. After a unit in which they learned the vocabulary for many food items, how to talk about the foods they like and dislike, and how meal customs in Hispanic countries are both similar and different from theirs, they got the opportunity to cook and eat a full course Hispanic meal. Sixth hour students (pictured below) made chilied pork, rice, refried beans, tortillas, tropical fruit salad, churros, and piña coladas (non-alcoholic, of course).

Progress has been made since we came back from Christmas vacation. Piñatas are now partially decorated. Check them out to the left and below.

Mi horario

Our most recent project in 2nd hour Spanish 1 was an on-line poster about our school day. Students used a website called Glogster and the finished product is called a glog. This is a great way to make a poster and go green since there is no tagboard or paper involved. Here are some examples of our posters. Press the arrows to listen to students talk about each of their classes. (It make take a minute for the posters to load, so please be patient. If they don't seem to be loading, try clicking on the red G.)
