¿Dónde vamos hoy?

A great interest to learn more about Spanish-speaking countries prompted the fourth graders to redesign a game that was played in the previous years by Lower School students, families and friends. During our most previous assembly, the fourth graders introduced to the Lower School community the newly revamped game. ¿Dónde vamos hoy? (Where are we going today?) is a game that requires people to figure out the mystery Spanish speaking country through a series of clues.

Each fourth grader has chosen a country to research.  They determine what are the best possible facts about that country to present to the Lower School.  Before each assembly, one country is chosen and the fourth grade students state the clues, in English and Spanish, to our Lower School community. 

Students, families and friends are invited to guess the name of the country by filling out a form and slipping it in a box located in Alicia’s classroom, room #9. During the following assembly, the name of the country will be announced. 

Go ahead! Challenge yourself and make a guess!

Here are the three facts given during our last assembly:

Fact 1 (one): It is located on the northern coast of South America.

Hecho 1 (uno): Se encuentra en la costa norte de América del Sur.

Fact 2 (two): It is known widely for its petroleum industry.

Hecho 2 (dos): Es conocida ampliamente por su industria del petroleo.

Fact 3 (three): Based on the 2011 census, its population is 28,946,101

Hecho 3 (tres): Basado en el censo del 2011, la población es 28,946,101.

Make your guess…

…and place it in the box…
