    Kindergarten and First Grade Spanish
    Our young Spanish learners have been having so much fun learning and using Spanish in the classroom! Through daily routines, stories, and interactive activities, students are expanding their vocabulary and growing more confident in their language skills. One of our favorite routines is greeting one another and sharing how we feel in Spanish.

    We also celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by learning about Spanish-speaking countries and exploring their traditions, music, and cultures. Students had the opportunity to discover and appreciate the rich cultural diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.

    Kindergarten students have been exploring fall vocabulary and colors, learning to recognize and name colors while using the word “busca” (look for). Through games such as Bingo and Memory Match, along with a story about a squirrel and an acorn, students are strengthening their listening comprehension and expanding their Spanish vocabulary.

    First-grade students have been learning las partes del cuerpo (body parts), with a focus on reading, understanding, and writing vocabulary words in both singular and plural forms. They continue to practice recognizing and naming body parts while exploring similarities and differences between English and Spanish letter-sound relationships to develop their reading and spelling skills. One of their favorite activities has been “The Bomb Game,” which encourages quick vocabulary recall, speaking fluency, and confidence in using Spanish.

    Second Grade Spanish
    Second-grade students have been having so much fun learning Spanish through our Halloween story, ¿Dónde está Fantasma?. Through storytelling, visuals, and interactive games, students are practicing asking and answering questions in Spanish while building their vocabulary and listening comprehension. They are searching for Fantasma in numbered houses, playing bingo, and enjoying memory games as they practice numbers 1–10 and learn to identify Halloween characters. These engaging activities encourage students to listen carefully, speak Spanish with confidence, and learn through play!

    3rd Grade Spanish
    Our third-grade Spanish students have been learning to introduce themselves and describe others using the phrases Él es (He is), Ella es (She is), and Yo soy (I am).

    Through an interactive story, students followed directions to color different characters while practicing sentence structure and answering questions about the story. These activities gave them opportunities to identify characters, describe people, and create simple sentences in Spanish.

    Students are also learning to distinguish among these expressions and use them correctly when talking about  themselves and others. Together, these engaging activities are strengthening their reading comprehension, expanding their vocabulary, and building confidence in speaking Spanish.

    To practice these phrases, students played a Spanish version of Duck, Duck, Goose. As they walk around the circle, they say Él es or Ella es while tapping each classmate. When they choose the “goose,” they say Él es [name] or Ella es [name], and that student chases them around the circle.

    4th Grade Spanish
    Fourth-grade students learned about and celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by researching a famous Hispanic person and presenting their findings to their classmates. During the Spanish portion of their presentations, students shared their person’s name, what made them famous, birthday, hometown, and heritage flag. Through these presentations, students practiced their speaking skills and reviewed Spanish sentence structures, including Él es (He is), Ella es (She is), and Yo soy (I am), using their famous people as examples. This project helped students build confidence in speaking Spanish while deepening their appreciation for the rich cultures, history, and diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.
