First Grade Classroom
Welcome to the LPE
Spanish 1st grade classroom!
What will we be learning this
year?
In addition to reviewing our
colors, numbers from 0-10, and magic words, we will be learning the following
new material:
- Greetings (Hola, ¿Cómo estás? Muy bien, gracias. Mucho gusto. Bienvenido. Hasta mañana. Buenos días. Adiós.) - saludos
- Body Parts
I (cabeza, hombros, rodillas, pies, ojos, orejas, boca, nariz, mejilla) -
partes
- Days of the week (lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado, y domingo) - días de la semana
- Months of the year (enero, febrero, marzo, abril, mayo, junio, julio, agosto, septiembre, octubre, noviembre, diciembre) - meses del año
How can I practice at home?
This year you will be learning the Spanish
alphabet song. Since most of the Spanish letter names are very similar to the sound that they
make, singing the Spanish alphabet song is a great way to practice your Spanish sounds.
Try using more of your Spanish skills at
home by saying your colors in both English and
Spanish. How about counting in Spanish
instead of English? We all use our magic
words daily… why not use the Spanish versions instead? Sing the Days of the Week and Months of the
Year songs in Spanish and show your parents your body parts
“exercise” routine!
How about playing some computer
games in Spanish? Follow these links to
practice your new Spanish skills:
· colores (note that they use marrón instead of café for brown)
· números
· alfabeto
· saludos
·
partes
Remember that the key to
pronouncing words in Spanish is to use your Spanish vowel sounds. Practice this whenever you can. For example, use your new letter sound skills
to read your menu at a Mexican restaurant.
