The
second graders’ Bird
Study continues to soar during
their Spanish language experience. We have been learning the Spanish words that
describes the basic parts of a bird and have been playing fun games to help us
reinforce the vocabulary.
One
fun game loved by all is el juego de los
matamoscas (the Swatter Game). This is an effective learning activity for all
types of learners that engages and reinforces new vocabulary. The kinesthetic and tactile learner is
stimulated with the physical activity of swatting the flashcard while the
auditory learner is engaged with the sound of the vocabulary being called out
in a musical tune.
The
life-like photographs on the flashcards and the matching words engages the
visual learner and additional activities were provided where they enjoyed
reading and labeling the parts of the bird on their activity sheets.
Added activities were
provided as opportunities to reinforce the learning. We read storybooks and
observed short videos that introduced us to a variety of bird species. One
video that was truly enjoyed by all was one by TuBebeGenio.blogspot.com on YouTube where we got to learn the names
of some lovely feathered creatures.
