Learners are working collaboratively with partners on Q & A using the book El helado de Pepita and helado props. ¿Le gusta el helado de menta?  Sí, me gusta helado de menta.

2nd grade learners have completed assembly of El helado de Pepita and are now working with partners to put together questions and answers to make a dialogue.  They will build "props" for and rehearse dialogue to present to the class. See attached sample of started dialogue.

2nd grade is discussing and putting together the book El helado de Pepita.  See attachment for a sample page.  We will continue activities with the story after break which will include writing a dialogue (¿Le gusta helado de vainilla? No me gusta helado de vainilla.)

After studying new vocabulary last week, 2nd grade is discussing the attached photo:

¿Cuántas personas/padres/chicos/mesas/sillas/platos hay?

¿Qué comen? (pollo, ejote, brócoli, zanahoria)

 

We know words for table settings and food items.  Putting it all together!

2nd grade prepped this picture talk with vocabulary practice and games.  We drew the picture from memory and then labeled the dinnertime scene.  Fun project!

2nd grade worked on running dictation this week with compañeros (partners).  One compañero ran to mixed up prayer phrases in the hall way and then dictated to the other compañero who wrote them down.  We ordered the phrases after.  What a great job!

See attached photos for part of the vocabulary we're using for games and activities.  The link directs to Spanish Playground which has tons of free resources and printables for learning the language. 

This particular page has items we've used for our food unit:  https://www.spanishplayground.net/spanish-food-vocabulary-printable-activities/

A friendly competition with group and whiteboards, learners had a list of food words and passed around white boards to all members of group to write translations. I encourage using articles before nouns and distinguish masculine and feminine words.

2nd grade is discussing foods, likes, and dislikes: Me gusta and No me gusta.  See the sample of the activity and charts that they wrote in their notebooks.  

2nd grade is practicing to sound out Spanish words by breaking them up into manageable syllables.  See the g words here for an example of the our work.

New prayer that 2nd grade added to their notebooks.  Please practice at home.

 

The Lord's Prayer

Padre nuestro que estás en el  cielo

Santificado sea tu Nombre

Venga tu reino

Hágase tu voluntad

En la tierra como en el cielo

Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día

y perdona nuestras ofensas

como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden

No nos dejes caer en tentación

y líbranos del mal.

Amen.

 

"Números Cha Cha Cha" lets learners practice their numbers with movement.  See Whistlefritz page for a sample of the song and lyrics (I bought the song and can't share the whole version on here!).  Learners can practice numbers counting by 10's with this tune.

2nd grade loves to sing!  We are revisiting Los pollitos dicen (btw, Spanish titles are only capitalized in first word) and are currently translating words in our interactive notebooks.  There are variations to the song if you search online. See lyrics below:

 

Los pollitos dicen pío, pío, pío
cuando tienen hambre, cuando tienen frío.
La gallina busca el maíz y el trigo
Les da la comida y les presta abrigo.
Bajo de sus alas acurrucaditos,
hasta el otro día duérmen los pollitos

The little chicks say peep, peep, peep
when they are hungry, when they are cold.
The mother hen looks for corn and wheat.
She gives them food, and provides them shelter.
Under mama’s wings, huddling up,
sleep the little chicks until the next day.

Use números chart for practice at home:

Learners are working on numbers, counting, and answering questions using the word "hay" (there are or there is).

¿Cuántos platos hay?

Hay ocho platos.

(see attached picture)

New prayer added to our notebooks today.  Please practice at home.  This is not due as homework.

 

Ave María (Hail Mary)

Dios te salve, María.

Llena eres de gracia:

El Señor es contigo

Bendita tú eres entre todas las mujeres.

Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre:

Jesús

Santa María, Madre de Dios,

Ruega por nosotros pecadores,

Ahora en la hora de nuestra muerte.

Amén

2nd grade is completing whole sentences describing people in pictures.  We're writing "exit tickets" on post its this week to firm up our skills.  We worked on this last week in small groups. Collaboration!

(Note that this is not homework to turn in.  These are vocabulary words to review.)

 

Learners continue with new vocabulary and have put a couple of words together to illustrate:

 

Glory Be (Spanish)

 

Gloria al Padre, al Hijo

y al Espíritu Santo.

Como era en el principio,

ahora y siempre,

por los siglos de los siglos.

Amén.
