Bienvenidos

Welcome to our Spanish 1 blog.  It is our intent to write a weekly post to let you know what we have been up to.  (It is our intent now, anyway, to do this weekly, but as the year goes on and we get busier.....well, you know how it goes.)  We hopefully will also be posting pictures and links to some of our work and projects so you can see for yourself what we have accomplished.  So, we hope you will stop by each week, check us out, and let us know what you think--just leave a comment.  Adios for now.

¿Cómo es la escuela?

IN a recent unit, Spanish 1 students talked about their classes and school. We learned how some things school-related may be different in Hispanic countries--uniforms, hours, extracurricular activities. For this unit's project, students made a Glogster (an on-line poster) about their school day and classes. Some used clipart; others actually took pictures in their various classrooms. Students then narrated a short introduction to each of their classes. Here is a couple of examples of the finished projects (by Beatriz and María). Look and listen:

Mis amigos

Spanish 1 students have been busy learning how to describe things (and people). As a culminating project or this unit, they introduced and described their friends by means of a website called fotobabble. This site lets you upload a picture and then record yourself talking about it. Here is an example by Cecilia.
