Literature!

We love to read in Spanish class! Check out some of the books (libros) we've read lately...often times we try to read stories that the students already know in English.
Kindergarten read a story called Diez Pequeñas Mariquitas. This is a counting book and has a lot of fun animal words.
First grade celebrated Clifford's Birthday and read about him going to school (escuela) and his first autumn/fall (otoño). Fourth grade learned about Cesar Chavez. We read Harvesting Hope The Story of Cesar Chavez by Kathleen Krull and illustrated by Yuyi Morales. We learned about Cesar's nonviolent movement for equal rights and treatment for farmworkers. We were impressed with his compassion, patience, and march of 300 miles!
