K-12 Spanish

¿Qué pasa en español? (What's up in Spanish?)
It is amazing how quickly time is passing and how close we are to the end of the school year. We began this month with the traditional Cinco de Mayo, a historical day in Mexico [Battle of Puebla Day], that is more celebratory in the United States. In Spanish classes of all levels, we have been talking about Mexican traditions, history, culture and gastronomy.

In Elementary, we continue to study basic expressions like "How are you" or "What do you like to do" and "I like" or "I don't like". We had drawing and coloring activities learning more vocabulary, this time more numbers and animals.

For Middle School we did work in vocabulary for technology, nature, Mexican culture, traveling, and schooling. We reviewed the Cinco de Mayo celebration. We are learning other expressions such as "Where do you live," "My favorite food or drink is," "My favorite activity is" and some basic grammar. In each class, students were one on one pronouncing Spanish words and expressions and improving some of them. They did hard work!

In High School, we are working on conjugations in all tenses, students work on creating a good number of sentences in Spanish almost every day, and they [also] read sentence to sentence and get support to improve pronunciation. We are still doing many word searches since students really like to do it and with that learning new words every day. We will prepare for finals in the coming weeks and finish this year in a positive way.

Thank you so much and still wishing little like "Happy Cinco de Mayo!!"
