Students in grades K - 2 will begin the year learning/reviewing basic phrases like ¿Cómo estás? (How are you?) and ¿Cómo te llamas? (What is your name?) and classroom commands. Students in grade 3 will take this a step further to create comics using the phrases. Students in grades 4 and 5 will take it even further when they learn the difference between the formal "usted" and informal "tú" forms of "you" to create a short skit that will be recorded on video!
Of course, we will take a short break on September 15 to learn more about Mexico to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day. The younger students will create their own Mexican flags to act the ¡Viva México! celebrations. The older students will get a chance to make their own guacamole and salsa to sample! Stay tuned for Independence Day celebrations on my "Spanish with Señora Swift" blog!
