A major interest in comida (food) brewed a study in the fourth grade Spanish class a few months back. Activities
were provided in a variety of formats that helped introduce and reinforce some
of the students’ favorite foods that included frutas
(fruits), vegetales (vegetables), postres (desserts) and bebidas (drinks). Here! Give it a try
and see how many you know:
papitas fritas
perro caliente
hamburguesa
pollo frito
queso
fresas
uvas
judías verde
zanahorias
pastelito
galletas dulce
helado
leche de chocolate
jugo de mango
After an extensive study on food related vocabulary, the fourth
graders decided it was time to present our new knowledge by delving
into a Restaurant Unit. This curiosity is taking us through a new journey that will
include additional fun activities, which will lead to the practice of
communicative skills, in Spanish, in a restaurant setting. In addition to practicing
restaurant related words, this long-term project will provide ample
opportunities for the students to practice their writing skills as well.
The culminating activity will be a restaurante simulation. Each individual, pair, or team of “restaurant owners”
will design their restaurant by giving it a name, create the menú including cost of items, and will serve as cooks, greeters, and
wait staff for their clientes (customers). Who knows? Some may even include an entertainment piece and add ambience by
having dancers or Spanish music playing in the background.
The planning and designing has begun! Stay tuned as we eagerly await the debut of these fine dining
eateries.
