An
interest to create their own fictitious country prompted a study of lugares (places) in third grade. The
students were provided with plenty of interactive activities that exposed them
to the vocabulary for places in the community such casa (house), oficina de
correo (post office), escuela
(school), tienda (store), cine (theatre) parque (park), museo
(museum) and much, much more.
As a
culminating activity, the third graders were invited to design their own país (country) to include nombre, capital, líder, locación, población,
clima, fiesta nacional (National Holidays), and bandera (flag). Then, they drew a picture of a particular ciudad (city) or barrio (neighborhood) in their country, labeling all major
buildings in both inglés y español.
Using a
script to introduce particulars to the class, each student got the chance to
share their country’s name, special places to visit, most popular dishes and
other information they’d like so as to persuade the audience to visit their país.
In
collaboration with our astounding art teacher, Amanda offered the third graders the opportunity to
design a city using recycle and craft items. The students were encouraged to label their
building in both inglés y español.
Their incredible work will be displayed during our STEAM Night coming soon.
Make sure to look for them!
¡Adios amigas y amigos!
