Español con Kindergarten: Insectos (Insects)

¡Bienvenidos familia, amigas, y amigos! Welcome! During our previous clase de Español, it was Shelby’s turn to choose our destination to a Spanish speaking country. Following our morning salutations, she recommended we go to España as our destination.  


reinforcing vocabulary words:
dónde – where
vamos – going
hoy - today
por favor - please
levantence - stand-up
alas – wings
vuela– fly
avión– airplane
carro - car
bote - boat
 bicicleta - bicycle
tren – train
sientencen - sit
círculo - circle
muéstrame - show me


To connect with our current theme of study, “Insects”, we read a book that gave us an introduction to the Spanish vocabulary for some bugs. We read Amy White’s book, Insectos.


Listening to the story we learned that the three parts of an insect are:

la cabeza – the head
el tórax – the thorax
el abdomen – the abdomen



We also discovered that an insect has seis patas (six feet) and dos antenas (two antennas). After the read aloud, using 3-D models, we learned the names of some insectos.

mariquita – ladybug
hormiga – ant
mariposa – butterfly
escarabajo – beetle
saltamonte – grasshopper
mosca – fly
mantis religioso – praying mantis
abeja – bee
libélula – dragonfly





We finished la clase with our traditional ¡Adios. Hasta luego! song and Shelby squeezing la vaca. ¡Gracias, Shelby!


¡Hasta nuestro proximo viaje!

Paz,
Alicia
