¡Feliz Día Internacional de la Mujer!

To celebrate International Women’s Day in Spanish 2, students either made cards for a woman of importance in their personal lives, or honored a woman that they admire from history on their social media account.

¡Bien hecho por todos!

In Spanish 1, we learn how to speak in the present tense. In Spanish 2, we are learning how to speak in the preterite (past) tense.

Verb races are a fun way to practice conjugating verbs of all tenses in class. Here are Ethan and Elijah refereeing a contest in class today:

¿Quién lo hizo? In Ms. Michalski’s Spanish 3 class, students are learning how to investigate a crime scene and describe pieces of evidence. ¡No fui yo!

¡Feliz Día de Muertos!

This week, to celebrate the Day of the Dead, our Spanish 2 students made and presented “ofrendas,” or altars, in remembrance of people who have passed.

This tradition is common in Mexico and Guatemala to welcome the souls of loved ones on this day.

Today in Mr. Dodds’s Spanish 2 class, we finished a project called ¿Quién Soy Yo? (Who Am I?). After writing & posting anonymous Spanish autobiographies around the room, students read & guessed the authors. Our kids know each other well: Nearly 50% guessed every author correctly!

Playing Batalla Naval (Battleship) using the periodic table is a great way to practice letters and numbers in #SpanishClass!

Today in Mr. Dodds’s Spanish 2 class, students “speed dated” by role playing “doctors and patients in the doctors office.” Patients described their problems before the doctor made a diagnosis and recommended what the patient should and should not do. Everyone did a great job!
