OH my goodness...I feel like a proud mama right now. For my K-2 class we have been learning about animals and we put together a play for the parents called "Eres mi mama?" The kids seriously blew us away, most of them memorized their lines and actually KNEW what they were saying! Some kids even made their own costumes. These kids seriously are so awesome. I almost cried when they were doing their presentation....no really, I did... I had to turn away so no one would know I was about to cry! They were so excited and happy to be learning Spanish and so proud to show their parents their skills with the language. I would definitely say that this skit has inspired future learning of the language.
This week we started with a new unit...transportation and direction. I am having a much better week...the best week so far out of my whole "full load" experience! With animals I tried to do too much, something completely different with every single class. It was too much to handle. This week with the new unit I have planned most of the lessons to be similar with modifications based on level. The kids are doing a great job with the new material and I am having fun teaching it to them :)
