Just checking in on week two!!!
This week's lessons are going to consist of Colors on Monday and a cultural lesson on Thursday regarding Mexico's Independence Day!
Today, we read "Sali de Paseo" (I Went Walking) in class...
we first did warm up songs and calendar time in some classes, then reviewed color flashcards that would be reinforced in the book. We also reviewed animal names! So Today's vocab consisted of:
el perro amarillo--- yellow dog
el pato verde--- green duck
el caballo marron--- brown horse
el cerdo rosado--- pink pig
la vaca roja--- red cow
The book asks... "Que fue lo que viste?" and it responds "Vi a un _____" So that is a phrase that you guys could practice at home! Or if some parents are interested in translating the book if they have it home let me know and I will write a translation on here! It's great for its repetition and key vocab!!!
Also another thing worth mentioning, these are the words I use for colors I know that depending on where you are there is a different way to say the same thing but for me here at Itav I use these color words:
Marrón (not cafe)
Verde
Rojo
Morado (not purpura)
Rosado (not rosa)
Blanco
Negro
Azul
Amarrillo
Anaranjado (not naranja)
On Thursday, I will give students a small overview of what happened, then in some of the classes we will do a short skit to reenact it! Having the kids pretend go to bed tucking them in practicing goodnight vocab, and then waking them up ringing a bell and practicing wake up vocab and then other vocab associated with the holiday such as:
Viva la independencia!
Viva Mexico!
I will also show kids a picture of the Mexican Flag... pointing out what colors it is! So we can continue to work on colors!
