¿Quién soy en mi familia? (2º grado) / Who am I in my family? (2nd grade)

After a lengthy study on members of a Familia, the second graders have culminated the unit with a sculpting project. Students were invited to create realistic sculptures of themselves using the modeling compound, Model Magic. The second graders molded themselves in a variety of positions such as standing, sitting, laying, holding a soccer ball and even “dabbing” while others chose to include their sibling in their creation.

Once completed, we let the figure sit overnight to dry and during the next Spanish class, the students added color to their statuette. 

Afterwards, each student was encouraged to write on an index card which member or members they are in their familia.
