Learning TIME in Spanish

We are learning about time now. My first graders are enjoying this unit because we can use our smart board and our clock whiteboards.
Just the other day I read a great post from Technology Rocks Seriously about teaching the time online resources. (thanks a lot for sharing)
I am going to add some that are in Spanish, for all your bilingual students.

 We got inspired with all these clocks and we created our own cuckoo clocks to practice at home. Check them out at TPT!

Isn’t that cute?
It is not written in Spanish because we have another official language here in my region.
I can’t show more photos because all the photos I took included my students… I am still learning everything about blogging!
But I can assure you that they where all as beautiful as this one!
And the last one, and the best one to… It includes lesson, vocabulary words, grammar, dialogues … And best of all audio!!! And if you click on the left corner you can find similar lesson for teaching colors, home, money, shopping…


Teacher Appreciation Jackpot

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and Sunday, May 6th is sure to be your lucky day! I’m excited to announce the very first Teacher Appreciation Jackpot, an amazing “blog hop” event involving over 130 bloggers!

We wanted to show our appreciation for you in a BIG way, so we’ve all agreed to give away one of our TeachersPayTeachers products for free on that day! Each free gift will be valued at between $3 and $8, so the total jackpot amount is estimated to be over $500! We’ll post the actual amount on Saturday, May 5th.

Because so many bloggers are participating, this event will be divided into three grade level groups. Each of those smaller events is being coordinated by one blogger as shown below:


Here is my free item:

DAYS OF THE WEEK CENTERS

Three different centers and a printable craft for your elementary spanish students.

Everything is done in Spanish and it has two levels for differentiating in the classroom. 
Download the preview to read about the centers. 


Thanks so much for all you do! We appreciate your commitment to your students and your dedication as an educator!

Verbs unit

We are finishing our verbs unit and I just uploaded it to TPT.
We have been very busy, learning a lot with this unit. My students enjoyed making verb lists so much that today I found a ‘Funny verb list’. I wish I had taken a photo but it was something like: mear, cagar… I couldn’t help laughing, now I know it was a meaningful unit for them.
Some of the activities we enjoyed the most were the Time Travel Machine and making up silly stories about the past or the future. When I become 20 years old I will be an astronaut and I will discover a new planet….

We had a funny story about someone’s mother that did not have a 3DS as a kid and had nothing to play with. Too funny!
