This week, second graders learned how to express preferences by saying, I like it, I don’t like it, or I like it a lot! We also focused on learning about art and expressing those specific preferences in Spanish, while starting to familiarize ourselves with the vocabulary of shapes which we’ll work on in the future. We started with examples in art! We learned who Picasso was and expressed which of his art we liked better. The students enjoyed seeing and hearing about the Picasso museum in Barcelona, and learning new vocabulary that is associated with it such as artist, famous, born, and artwork. We analyzed some of Picasso’s artwork by seeing the number of geometrical shapes, which is how we tied in the new vocabulary lesson. We found circles and rectangles that were all said in Spanish! Señorita placed some of the most famous Picasso pieces around the classroom and the students had to move toward the one that “te gusta más”, which means that they liked it the most.
Kindergarteners worked in detail on emotions such as tired, good, bad, sick, sleepy etc. We sang and practiced additional emotions last week, which prepares us to further that learning in detail this week. We continued to dance and sing our songs that focus on these emotions, and then we moved to a fun activity where our well-known friends, Pepita, Javi, Olivia, and Mateo were sick, tired or sleepy. We then had to place a pon pon on the one that señorita said aloud which you can see in the video.
