Over
the course of the last few weeks, los
Cardenales have been learning the Spanish vocabulary that defines some of
our body parts, including our skin. Having completed a learning study for the
physical traits of dinosaurios, which
coincided with their homeroom study, the students made the connection that the
same characteristics apply to the human body. We both have a cabeza (head), ojos (eyes), orejas
(ears), nariz (nose),
boca (mouth), cuello (neck), and piernas (legs).
To help
with vocabulary retention of body parts, games were played and songs were sung.
Afterwards, we decided to learn the words that describe basic items worn to
cover our body; ropa (clothes).
To
culminate the study, each Cardenal was
given the opportunity to dress their own “Wonderfoam Body”, which come in
multicultural colors. After picking the one they felt came closest to their
skin tone, the students were invited to dress their foam figure with their
choice of ropa. As the students crafted their attire from construction
paper, they were encouraged to apply their new vocabulary by stating what piece
of garment they were constructing and in what color! (A great opportunity to
integrate topics!)
