Second graders have begun to learn how to tell time in Spanish. We have learned time on the hour and half hour. To go with our time unit, we also learned about the painting The Persistence of Memory, by Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. In the painting, there are melting clocks that represent the fact that time moves in a different way when we dream or when we recall memories. There is also a bland figure in the middle of the painting that is thought to be a dream-like figure. In art class, students made their own melting clocks and we put that together with our Spanish knowledge to make a video about telling time. Check out the videos below for each second grade class that I teach at all schools.
This week some classes will be doing Spanish Valentine's Day station rotations. In Spanish, Valentine's Day is translated as El Día de San Valentín, but is typically called El Día del Amor y la Amistad, meaning The Day of Love and Friendship. Check our Mrs. Pierce's 2nd grade class in each of the three stations - coloring the hearts, color memory, and sorting the conversation cards.
