¡La clase de español!

The 7th grade is off to great start in Spanish!  Our unit for 1st quarter is called Mi comida favorita, My Favorite Food. (The class continually leaves Spanish class hungry) In this unit they will practice how to talk about food and beverages, say what foods they like and don't like to eat, and ask questions. We will also focus on Puerto Rico and explore typical Puerto Rican foods.

Here are photos from some of our activities from last week.

Below is a picture of our horrible food contest. We had a contest to see what student could come up with the worst food combination and the class voted on a winner.  The winner went to Elena, la sopa de queso azul y las uvas, blue cheese and grapes soup!

We also used fake food to play a classic game of hot potato. In small groups, the class passed around a food. When the music stopped, the person with the food was responsible for telling the class the Spanish word. The class had a blast passing around the food as quickly as possible.

This week our focus is asking questions using interrogatives and saying what they like and don't like to eat. We will personalize our conversations to discuss favorite foods, restaurants, and food they like to eat for different meals of the day.

At home, you can practice asking your child what they like to eat or you can hold a horrible food contest of your own. See what horrible combinations you and your child can come up with!
