Last Week
Last week there was no school on Friday because it was Veteran’s Day so we couldn’t teach the kids anything. However, it gave us a whole week to come up with ideas we can do with the kids. For example, we came up with some Thanksgiving ideas to do with them, we came up with ways to teach them about animals, and we came up with a way to teach them about plants/stars. Therefore, we bought most of the necessary supplies last week to be prepared for the upcoming weeks so we don’t have to make multiple trips to the store. In summary, last week was more or less a time saver.
This Week
This week we will teach the kids on how to say basic sentences that are appropriate for Thanksgiving, we will have them learn how to say silverware and which food they would use it on, and finally, we will have them make a hand turkey as a craft (and of course learn how to say turkey in Spanish “guajolote, pavo, chompipe= turkey”). Hopefully, the kids have a good time with this little project and learn something that they can just tell their friends and or family.
Next Weeks goals
Our plan for next week is to teach the kids about stars and the planets. We will most likely use some art pieces of the planets to teach them what they are in Spanish. Also, we will teach them how to ask some basic questions in Spanish like “como se dice…?= How do you say…? ” and things similar to that. We want to teach the children this kind of stuff because it is basic knowledge to everyone, even though it seems not important it would be funny if a person ended up learning Spanish fluently and couldn’t say, “Mars” in Spanish (Mars=Marte). We are currently coming up with a craft idea they can take home and show to their parents, but we still hope they have a good time while making/learning Spanish.
