¡Bienvenidos Catbird’s familia, amigas y
amigos! During la clase de Español,
it was Hadley’s turn to choose our destination to a Spanish speaking country.
After singing our morning greeting song, ¡Buenos
día amigos!, Hadley suggested we head to Puerto Rico. Upon our
arrival to this country where Spanish is an official language, we gathered in a
círculo and began our Spanish language
experience.
To reinforce our
learning on Spanish words for different types of vehicles, we played the “Swatter
Game.” This is a game that is truly enjoyed by all. First, using life-like
pictures of three different styles of transportation, we reviewed the Spanish
word for bus, train and car. Afterwards, we placed these pictures down on the
ground. Two friends are given a swatter and the Spanish vocabulary for either one
of the three vehicles was called out, autobus,
carro, ó tren. The swatters job, you ask? Well, to swat the correct card of course! Two friends
played at a time then we were asked to pasalo
(pass it) to the next friend closest to us. What fun! After all the Catbirds
took a turn, it was then their turn to do the calling while the teachers
swatted the correct card. What an amazing job the Catbirds did!
Vocabulary
introduced:
pasalo
– pass it
As usual, we
finished our class with our traditional song, Adios, hasta luego, and Hadley squeezing la vaca.
¡Gracias, Hadley!
¡Hasta nuestro proximo viaje! (Until our
next voyage!)
Paz,
Alicia
