Welcome new families and welcome back to returning families! I once again am teaching Spanish to all classes at Hope Valley and am teaching K-2 and Mrs. Ornburn's class at Ashaway. I am also teaching Miss Cormier's class at Richmond this year! If any of those is your class then you are in the right place! Classes have been busy at work these past few weeks reviewing their Spanish and learning new topics! Kindergarten is quickly picking up Spanish words including Hola - hello, Amigos - friends, Amigo - friend (boy), Amiga - friend (girl), Me llamo - my name is, and even some numbers and colors! First grade is learning new feeling words including Tengo hambre- hungry, Tengo sed - thirsty, Feliz - happy, and Triste- sad. Second grade has proven very quickly that they can sing the days of the week in Spanish and put them in order. We are already moving on to weather this week. Third and Fourth grade are learning how to talk about FOOD in Spanish! They are learning to talk about different meals, what they like and don't like to eat, what time they eat, and how to describe meals in terms of the MyPlate guidelines (the new "Food Pyramid"). Fourth grade also made "banderas" - flags about themselves in Spanish. They are hanging in the bulletin boards on the way to the cafeteria in both Ashaway and Hope Valley. Take a look at this sample of their work below! If you have any questions or comments throughout the year, please email me at [email protected]. I look forward to a great year!
