    Fall18-SPA-102-002 Exploring the Spanish World II

    Today was great! We learned how to make crepes and watched a video about them. They practiced listening to different cup and teaspoon sizes and recorded them on a sheet. after Mrs. Kracht had them say which coins and bills they know and the corresponding value. They thought this was really fun for some reason lol.

    This week was different than the previous few, we had 5 adults helping out in class today so we were able to split up into small groups and practice reading. I was with 3 boys and we read about soccer, which seems to be everyone in the class's favorite sport to play. They all come in from recess together out of breathe from playing every time I'm in class. I wasn't able to be with the Spanish speaking children this week unfortunately so I wasn't able to translate meanings as well.

    Today was pretty great! the kids were excited that a break was coming from school so they were energetic about their work. The class learned about the history around thanksgiving and were able to practice learning and using some thanksgiving vocabulary that consisted of words many of them had never used. I wasn't able to use my Spanish this week but some of the kids bought me a little somali which was fun!

    Had a really fun time today learning about the election today with Mrs. Kracht today! We read a few quick paragraphs and watched a cartoon about how it all works. The kids thought it was pretty sick that I could vote.

    Today was great, in anticipation for halloween we read a few passages on the life cycle of pumpkins. We covered everything from the seed to the black mush thats left over after the pumpkin decays. At the end of class Mrs. Kracht even tossed out some candy, how fun.

    Wow what a bueno day, I actually learned a few things that I didn't know today about the Chicago fire fire. Did you know the streets were made of cobblestone? Crazy I know, I won't even go into the stuff about the Dalmatians. We broke up into two groups and read about the fire, I went with Mrs. Kracht to the Library. The library is down the hall and to the right, not too far which is fun. This is the first time I was able to use Spanish while helping out. A Spanish speaking student didn't know what something he read in english was and I was able to bless him with a translation.

    First day went pretty well, the students had a free day to read whatever they wanted. I read with a few boys but was unable to help translate very much due to them not speaking Spanish nor english. Where I was more helpful was finding a pencil when a student was in need. I killed that part. We split up into smaller groups towards then end and watched some educational video on the smart board. Class flew by super quick, you know what they say.
