El tiempo vuela

The first quarter seems to be flying by.  Here is what Spanish classes have been up to the past couple of weeks:

Spanish 1:  Students have mastered vocabulary dealing with things found in a typical classroom.  They can tell what items they have with them as well as ask to borrow items such as a pen or pencil.  In addition, they are now able to count to at least 1000 and tell time in Spanish.  They had a great time playing "El osito perdido" (Lost Bear) to practice their counting skills.

Spanish 2:  Students are talking about sports and other  favorite activities.  They enjoyed the song Paraiso by Dvicio and even learned the dance that was done as a flashmob in McDonald's in Spain.

Spanish 3:  Students finished recording their "dating profiles" and are awaiting the final video product (as soon as I get time to do the editing).  They are now working on talking about their daily lives and routines.

Spanish 4:  Inca Cola --good.  Gazpacho--not so much.  That was the consensus after trying both. We finished our food unit by looking at what typical families around the world eat, and are now watching the movie "Canela" about a young girl, her grandmother, and their love of cooking.  (All Spanish, no subtitles--students are really getting a workout on their listening skills.)
