2nd Period Matrix: 9/28
Submitted by kimber on
-Everyday in class, students practice conversational skills by responding to these questions: "¿Cómo estás?", "¿Cuántos años tienes?", and "¿Cómo te llamas?". Students should expect to have an oral quiz on these soon. I will properly inform them before the day of the quiz.
-Students practiced telling the time in Spanish. They should be practicing at home in preparation for a quiz coming soon.
-Students practiced with vocabulary on the days of the week, months of the year, and seasons. Each were asked to categorize the words as one of these three. For practice with this vocabulary, see the attachment below.
-We went around the circle saying the day and month of our birthday. Students were reminded that in Spanish, the day comes before the month (ie: Mi cumpleaños es el 18 de julio).
-Students were asked to bring in materials from home to use as drums. These items will not be destroyed, but may be decorated with removable material. Some possible items we thought of include empty trash bins, coffee bins, Lysol wipes containers, plastic jars, or plastic soda bottles. Students could also make shakers from empty plastic bottles filled with seeds, beads, beans, rice, or any small object. We will be working on these in class on Friday in preparation for a festival we will celebrate next Wednesday (10/4).
