February 2014 FREEBIE: Centro fonéticos haciendo palabras:  Nivel básico
Contains 43 pages of sequentially taught word/picture cards. In themes 2-10, each theme teaches 2-3 new letters making 4-6 sound words beginning with two syllable words progressing to three syllable words. In theme 1, you have an overview of the letters and beginning syllables. In theme 2-10, the students will focus on blending and segmenting words into sounds and syllables both auditorily and visually.
    http://www.mommymaestra.com/2014/02/free-sample-pages-of-spanish-phonics.html
  • Theme 2, (Reviews: A, E, I, O, U) – focuses on words with new consonants M, S, P
  • Theme 3, (Reviews: A, E, I, O, U, M, S, P) – focuses on words with new consonants T, C, N
  • Each theme 2-10 teaches 2-3 new letters, while reviewing letters from previous themes.
I tape the picture on the outside of the envelope, the letters inside.  We work in small groups practicing together, then independently forming words.  The students practice forming the words in syllables first, then into individual sounds.

December 2013 FREEBIE:  Free Number & Sets Flash cards!
http://www.mommymaestra.com/2013/12/free-spanish-number-cards-and-game.html


November 2013 FREEBIE:    Mimio activity: Tema 2: Centro fonéticos
This game is the same as Centro Fonéticos: Nivel 1, but it is in electronic format using the MIMIO software.  You would need to download the mimio software at www.mimio.com  This game can be played during whole group Spanish or during small groups.  I also have these on our student stations to provide for individual practice.  There is no "SELF CORRECT" button.  I considered putting this on, but I like the fact that the students can go through all of the words and we can save the document with the name of each child to show parents during conference.  This is a great record to show the parent if the child can successfully segment or not.

Here is the most beautiful mural that my teaching partner created with our kiddos!

Every child sponge painted their own flower and sponge painted grass. When they finished, she had them paint their egg cartons green. She had them put in the toothpicks for the pins that come out of their backs for protection from other insects! The kids were so LOVING this activity!






Here is the "almost finished" product of the kinder jungle book theme.  The students created their own vines and they all got to choose how to hang the vines as well as their chimps!  When we finished our butterflies, we went and stapled them to the vines which created a 3-D effect of actually being in the jungle!  Our entire school is turning into a JUNGLE for the Jungle Book play at the end of the year!!

Today we painted our paper plates for tomorrow's ART day in kindergarten!  We are rotating every 30 minutes to do a different art integration lesson!  My classroom is integrating Math using geometric shapes and symmetry!  The kids were so excited when I showed them what they were going to make! 

Our 4th and 5th graders are going to do a play on the Jungle book at the end of the year.  The entire school are doing character studies and mini units around the Jungle book theme!  Today we created a jungle like scene using butcher paper! They twisted brown vines and we taped on our leaves!  Later we glued on our chimpanzees. Most at least resembled the ape family!  It was great!  I'll post pics later to show what our school has turned into!  It is just fantastic.
