Our Latest Popular Song
Talks about kitchen utensils we use on a
daily basis while we dance and move to
represent each object
“Soy una taza, una tetera,
Una cuchara, un cucharon,
Un plato hondo, un plato llano,
Un cuchillito, un tenedor.
Soy un salero, azucarero,
La batidora y una olla exprés, pipiii”
(I am a cup, a teapot,
Soup dish, plate,
A knife, a fork.
I am a salt shaker, sugar bowl,
A mixer and a pressure cooker, pipiii)

When doing a lesson (some examples):
Color boxes, we practice them in Spanish,
Cards and counter, we practice 1-10 in Spanish
Enrichment of vocabulary, how to describe feelings in
Spanish…
Or when they are preparing their snack I will ask: “Que
tenemos hoy?: Plátanos y galletas”(What are we having
today? Bananas and crackers)
Or if they ask me to go to the bathroom they will need to
tell me in Spanish “¿puedo ir al baño, por favor?”
2nd Circle
This month we worked on telling the temperature and
weather in Spanish. Then we made a linear graph about
the February’s weather and the winner has been: días
nublados (cloudy days)
Sometimes we read books, sing songs or play games to
continue reinforcing the vocabulary they are learning.
Spanish afternoon circles
We have started talking about how to describe ourselves:
Mi pelo es… (Mi hair is…)/ Mis ojos son…(My eyes are…)
We learned different prepositions in Spanish: “arriba” (up),
“abajo” (down) and opposites: Grande/ pequeño
(big/small), rápido, despacio (Fast/slow)…
We also request and offer snack, using the appropriate
manners in Spanish. Spanish.
