During Second Grade Spanish Language experience, the students have been focusing
on using the target language to communicate things related to their current
theme of study, Egipto, Egypt. With
the use of a PowerPoint, we explored the geographical location of this amazing
country and its neighbors.
We learned the vocabulary for the cardinal points: norte (north), sur (south), este (east), and oeste
(west). We discovered that Egipto está en
el noreste de Africa, Sudán está al sur de Egipto, Libya está al oeste de
Egipto and El mar Mediterráneo está
al norte de Egipto. Ask a
second grader what it all means! To reinforce our learning, we used a
large floor map to find different locations. The students became
more confident with every opportunity to connect a verbal request for a
location to the site on the map.
To
further connect the Spanish language experience with their Egypt study, the
second graders also learned Spanish descriptive words that identify some of the
gods and goddesses that ancient Egyptians believed in. Because many of the
names of the dioses y diosas do not
change (only in pronunciation), the challenge was provided to learn adjetivos (adjectives) to describe them.
Dioses y diosas flashcards, bingo
game and crossword puzzles were created to help reinforce the learning.
At Egypt Night, many second graders shared Spanish
vocabulary that describes some of the gods and goddesses they researched. You would be amazed!
