Elementary School Newsbite: December 9th, 2024

First grade teachers and Spanish have teamed up to teach across the curriculum. Our Spanish PreK-2 grade students are learning the ABC in Spanish in conjunction with Wit & Wisdom 1st grade curriculum: names of animals which begin with each Spanish letter of the alphabet. By the end of this Unit, our PreK-2 graders would have completed 30 letters and 30 animal names accompanied by a coloring/letter sheet. 

In addition, our 2nd graders are also learning an additional animal name in Spanish from the American West. In this way, we are also collaborating across the curriculum with 2nd grade Wit & Wisdom Unit on the American West. 

The Spanish bulletin board during November and December is a collaboration of Special Area teachers and their subjects (photos attached). For December the theme is the holidays: Santa visits Spanish class and the Los Tres Reyes Magos visit all the other Special classes. In this way, we are teaching our students about cross-cultures collaboration and fusion. Spanish class students will be contributing to the December bulletin board with decorations. Note: at SHRMS on location December´s bulletin board exhibits the same.
