Hola padres! It is good to be back with the scholars as we have dived back into Spanish! We began learning about adjectives this week and were able to incorporate our new knowledge into a worksheet that used most both adjectives and prepositions. This worksheet took both class times this week to complete and I am excited that the scholars were able for the most part to figure out what they needed to draw on their own with just a bit of help from me.
On Wednesday, Ms. Uphoff's class learned about Peru and we had the special privilege of Ms. Uphoff sharing pictures from her trip there a couple of years ago. The scholars really enjoyed what she shared!
If you are looking for a way for your scholars to practice Spanish at home, I have come across a really great app called duolingo. My husband has been using it to work on his Spanish and it is truly amazing. The app is intuitive and you can play against friends if thats what motivates you. Like so many things in life, there is not magic pill that you can take that will make you able to speak Spanish in a week, but this app is the closest to that that I have encountered. I think it can be used for children as well, so download it and let me know what you think!
Next week, we plan to move on to question words and also start learning about the Day of the Dead. We are heading into some exciting weeks with the holidays coming up which are rich in cultural tradition for those who speak Spanish!
