¡Bienvenidos familia, amigas, y amigos!
Welcome! During our last clase de Español,
it was Cara’s turn to choose our destination to a Spanish speaking country.
Following our morning saludos, she
recommended we head over to Cuba.
Once
we arrived and settled in a círculo,
we read Lisa Trumbauer’s book, ¿Qué es un
insect? / What is an insect?
Afterwards,
to reinforce our learning, we played a fun game of “The Swatter Game.” To
connect with the five bugs that the Kindergarteners are researching, we used a
picture of each of those bugs to play.
vocabulary
words:
mariquita
– ladybug
mariposa
– butterfly
mantis
religioso – praying mantis
abeja
– bee
libélula
– dragonfly
Once the Swatter Game was over, we then broke into
our “research teams”. Each member of the team was given Model Magic to sculpt
the bug they were researching. As a guide, each team was giving a book that had
photos of their bug and a 3-D model too. As a starting point, the
Kindergarteners were encouraged to start by sculpting the three body parts of
their insect:
vocabulary
words:
la
cabeza – the head
el
tórax – the thorax
el
abdomen – the abdomen
We finished la clase with our traditional ¡Adios.
Hasta luego! song and Cara squeezing la
vaca. ¡Gracias, Cara!
¡Hasta
nuestro proximo viaje!
Paz,
Alicia
