On Monday Italian Club played a game where each student got to unravel a saran wrap ball with prizes! If they got an Italian flag during their turn, they had to answer a trivia question about Italy. A correct answer gave them more time to roll, and a wrong answer ended their turn

Students got creative 🖍 and made their own verbs today in class! The pretend verbs still followed the conjugation rules we’ve been studying. They loved this activity and we had lots of laughs! @IslipUFSD @IslipMS #isliprising

On Fri. we practiced spelling with the 🇮🇹&🇪🇸 alphabets! Students picked words they saw in the room & spelled them to their partner. They checked to see if they wrote the correct word after. Activities like this help them learn content & build communication skills🗣👂🏼#isliprising

Proud big sister (and Italian teacher) moment! 🇮🇹 Luciano got awarded for his performance on the National Italian Exam🏅

Today I challenged students to complete a puzzle using family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 vocab words! Each group had to match Spanish/Italian words with their definitions. All sides of each card had to match up or the puzzle wouldn’t fit. Listen to them work together! They rocked it! #isliprising

On Friday my advisory finished our poster for the contest about respect! 🖍🎨They’re so talented! Fingers crossed that we win! 😊🤩

World Language Immersion Day @IslipUFSD. It was a fun day filled with language and cultural activities. Thank you to our fabulous teachers @SchierhorstIHS And Sarah Ito for all the hard work you put into making this event successful #Isliphs #isliprising #islipworldlanguage

[Giovanna Stanco @Ms_Stanco]

Today we practiced definite & indefinite articles with a self-checking mystery photo. Each time students put in the correct article for a noun, the image fills a little! If the image doesn’t fill, they know that they have to look at their answer again. They loved it! @IslipMS

[Giovanna Stanco @Ms_Stanco]

Today in Spanish and Italian we practiced telling time with the help of #jamboard ⏰ Students were asked to write times that would make sense for each part of the day. We were able to discuss them as a class and talk about some of the changes that had to be made! 👩‍💻🧑‍💻 @IslipMS
