El Día de Acción de Gracias means Thanksgiving. While Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Spanish-speaking countries, the idea of being grateful for the things that we have is a universal concept. This week, many Spanish classes got the opportunity to use their Spanish knowledge to color turkeys (pavos) and share what they are thankful for. First grade at Hope Valley made a class turkey with feathers that say what each student is thankful for. Second grade at both schools played a game in which they rolled a dice to determine what color to draw feathers on a turkey. The colors were, of course, in Spanish. Third grade at both schools colored a color-by-number turkey, cut it out, and wrote what they are thankful for around it.
Some things that students are most thankful for are: familia - family los soldados/los veteranos - soldiers/veterans la comida - food la vida - life las mascotas - pets la salud - health la educación/la escuela - education/school I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving! Check out the pictures of some wonderful work that the students did this week.

The Elementary Spanish teachers have had a website since we developed the program in 2014 but it is a challenge to share the responsibilities of updating a website with a group of teachers and it is so easy to forget to update it! So I have decided to start a blog that I hope to update once a week with pictures and thoughts about what has been going on in class. I hope that having my own blog will inspire me to share interesting ideas and resources with the community!
