Our students have been busy creating, exploring, and building new skills across Spanish and ELA classes! In 6th grade Spanish, students are designing personal family albums, using their new vocabulary to introduce family members, share birthdays and ages, and describe personalities and appearances. It's been amazing to see their creativity shine as they build stories about real or imaginary families, all while practicing the verb SER and colorful adjectives! Check out these amazing projects created by Amelia, Callen, and Fisher! Jacob M-L. and Ashley have also created some really cool projects using posters!
In 7th grade Spanish, some students have taken a deep dive into culture by planning their own Quinceañera (or Quinceañero) celebrations. After researching traditions from Spanish-speaking countries, they've chosen themes, food, music, venues, and even designed invitations and formal wear for the big event. Their thoughtful connections to culture and celebration are inspiring! Check out these projects created by Suhri & Chase, Sara O. & Kenia H-C., and Nahomi & Marlee!
Other 7th grade Spanish students have been celebrating sports in Spanish. Students have picked a favorite sport, researched a famous athlete of Spanish-speaking heritage, and are practicing writing about where, when, and how they play different sports using weather and sports vocabulary. Their enthusiasm for sharing personal favorites will make for some great conversations (in Spanish, of course)! Check out this project by Brianna. We are looking forward to seeing more finished projects this week!
In 7th grade ELA, students are working on strengthening their storytelling muscles. We're continuing our journey with Code Talker, while also using creative picture prompts to write and share original stories aloud. Students are learning to stretch their sentences, add vivid details, and bring their ideas to life both on paper and in their spoken words.
It's exciting to watch students take risks, explore new ideas, and grow more confident every day!
