Videos for numbers and a new unit!

Hell all!

Wow! The school year is almost over! We’re all exhausted, but I’m going to miss seeing all my students during the summer break.

I promised on my previous entry I would post other videos for our unit on the months of the year, days of the week, numbers, and birthdays. It took me a little while, but here they are! Please click on the links below to access the videos. (I cannot post the videos from Rockalingua, but the kids can log in to the website with their password at any time and watch them.)

Now that we finished the unit, we have started learning about family members. Second, third, and fourth grade students are working on a research project, which they seem to be enjoying. Second graders are working on their iPads while third and fourth graders are using Chromebooks. Students were asked to create a family album or tree, some in teams of two students, some on their own, and then share their projects with me. Kindergarteners and first graders have been learning about family members and farm animals by doing more hands-on activities and they will be playing with “farm animals” dice this week. I’ll be posting the videos we watch in class soon, so be sure to come back!

Have a great week,

Hispanic Holiday Celebrations

Hello all!

It’s been a while since my last post. I apologize! Here’s what we’ve been up to...

Although we had started learning about the parts of the body and the face, we had to interrupt to talk about the holidays, solely in terms of Hispanic culture and traditions. We discussed the Day of Epiphany and the Three Kings, along with the tradition of Las Posadas. Students keep asking I post the videos we saw in class, so here they are!

The Three Kings

Las Posadas

Now that we’ve finished talking about these Hispanic holiday traditions, we’re going back to the parts of the body and the face.

Enjoy the long weekend!
