Well technology wasn't our friend today but that didn't stop us from having a good class! We started off by checking the homework and playing "tarjetas de flash" a couple times. We then moved onto doing a color by numbers activity in which students had to recognized the written form of numbers 1-8 and color them the assigned color which was given to them in Spanish. We then had a worksheet in which students had to look at a picture of a person, write down how they would ask how that person was feeling and then write an appropriate response.
Tarea: Finish the color by numbers activity as well as the worksheet! We will check them in class on Monday so make sure to bring them to receive credit. Also, study your phrases and vocabulary and practice, practice, practice!

Students turned in their previous bell-work activities and I passed back their very first test! Students should be very proud of how much they have learned in a month's worth of classes. We went through the test a bit and then we moved on to talking about our next unit--colors and emotions. Students started a new bell-work sheet for the next unit and answered questions on matching colors with their Spanish word. We then went over how to properly say the words on the vocabulary list and I taught the students a song I had learned in the 7th grade to help me remember the colors. Students sang the song with me and then we went through the flashcards for the unit.
colors_song.m4a Tarea: Cut out the flashcards and practice saying the words on your vocabulary list. See how many you can memorize! We started off class by reviewing for the test and answering any last minute questions. I then began the test after explaining the rules for taking tests (eyes on your own paper, raise hand when you have a question, no talking, etc.). Students completed their tests at their own pace and then we went over most of the answers once everyone was done and I had collected the tests. I then passed out their new vocabulary list on colors and emotions and we went over how to pronounce each word and what they translated to in English.
unit_2_vocabulary-colors_and_feelings.m4a Homework: Practice your new vocabulary and don't forget your former vocabulary either :) We started class talking about their upcoming test and what was going to be on it and then we started practicing for the test. We went over classroom phrases and the greetings/farewells expressions by playing "tarjetas de flash" with their flashcards. We then reviewed the alphabet and numbers by playing Battleship which seemed to be a big hit. We sang our alphabet and numbers songs and then played "Matamoscas" to review them some more.
Tarea: Study your phrases, alphabet and numbers! Test will be in class on Wednesday!! :) Today we focused a lot more on the alphabet as well as numbers 1-13. We had a bell-work assignment in which students practiced their greetings/farewell expressions and numbers and then students counted 1-31 with a partner and then as a whole class. We sang our Cuenta and Alfabeto songs and then switched gears to focusing on the alphabet by playing alphabet bingo....ABC Tengo!
Tarea: I have decided to move the test to next Wednesday. It will be an in-class test so make sure you come prepared! No notes will be allowed :) Please study classroom phrases, greetings and farewells, alphabet and numbers 1-31. Today we reviewed numbers 1-10 and focused more on the numbers 11-31. We played the game, "I have....who has...' in Spanish 'Tengo....Quien tiene...." with numbers 1=15 and then for our second round of the game students had to put themselves in order 1-13 based on the card they were given. They also had to do that all in Spanish! They did a great job! We then went over the rest of the numbers and played "Matamoscas" (flyswatter) game with random numbers 1-31 as a review of what we just went over. We also practiced the alphabet by doing a few activities.
Cuenta "rap": cuenta.mp3 Tarea: Your test is coming up! Next Monday you will have a test over classroom phrases, greetings/farewells, the alphabet and numbers 1-31. You will not need to spell them but you will want to make sure you can recognize them by sight and sound. Look over vocabulary lists, listen the audio recordings and practice singing your songs for a great review!! We will be reviewing for the test on Wednesday so come prepared! We started off class with a bell-work review on phrases that we are practicing so far while I checked for homework completion. Then we went over the bell-work and homework assignments. We then played the game "tarjetas de flash" with our flashcards so that students had practice associating the Spanish term with the image rather than associating the Spanish word with the English word. After playing the game twice, we then moved on to learning the Spanish alphabet (which has changed since 2014--crazy!). We learned a song (posted below) and went over numbers 1-10 in Spanish.
