La Oruga

Students in grades 1-4 are creating "una oruga." Our oruga (caterpillar) grows by learning new words in Spanish. Look closely at the photo...a word can only be added if it starts with the last letter of the word before it. Words added by first graders are anaranjado, second graders are amarillo, third graders are verde, and fourth graders are azul. Later in the year kindergarten will help us too. The students create an illustration to go with the words we learn and add. Our oruga is really growing... another photo coming soon!
