Third graders created predictable books based upon the book, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See? Noun Adjective position in Spanish as well as gender and quantity agreement were taught and reinforced by having the students author their own predictable book.
Third graders are currently studying the food unit. We have discussed likes and dislikes and learned a song, “jugo de naranja” that reinforces the verb, to like, gustar. Culturally, we have talked about different foods from Spanish speaking countries. Students know that a tortilla in Spain is not the same as a tortilla in Mexico. We also discussed how geography is important in the dishes prepared throughout the Spanish speaking world.
Students have created their own restaurant logo and are working on menus. They will also be preparing dialogues to take place in their restaurants with their classmates. This is also a time that I reinforce vocabulary expressions with the verb, tener, such as tener hambre-to be hungry, tener sed-to be thirsty.
