Spanish class updates!

Students in grades K-2 are reviewing colors and the numbers to 20. Advanced students are learning to count higher and will use numbers in different ways-- to say how many of something there are, to give someone's age, or to give the price of an item in a complete sentence in Spanish.

Here's a fun video we've been watching in class:

Kindergarteners and first graders played a board game to review the colors (think Candyland, but in Spanish) and had a blast!

Updates from Spanish class!

Here's our most recent update from the Tuckahoe Times:
In Spanish, we have finished up months, days, seasons and weather and are working on clothing. While lower grades are just beginning their study of clothing, upper grades will be learning how to describe the color of clothing and will review the numbers in the context of asking and answering about the different prices of clothing.


¡Hasta pronto!

¡Feliz año Nuevo!

Welcome back to School!
In case you missed the most recent issue of the Tuckahoe Times, here's an update.

¡Feliz año Nuevo! Happy New Year from Señora Garcia, Señora Rivera, and Señorita Cox. We hope that you all had a restful break! All families should have received our newsletter, which each teacher sent home with students before the break. In Spanish, we are continuing our study of the days of the week, months of the year, seasons, and weather, as well as clothing choices based on these. Among other things, students at lower levels will be learning how to say the month of their birthday, while older students will be asked to give their own birthdays and report about others’. Advanced students with previous experience in Spanish will be presented with challenges such as describing their schedules on different days of the week, and answering questions about the calendar and different holidays. We are looking forward to helping your students build on their knowledge of Spanish in 2016!
