Reflexiones de Calwood
We did some reflection about the 5th grade trip to Calwood. Students practiced sharing orally about their favorite parts and what they did not like. They then created a small book with these written statements and illustrations. What special memories for them to reflect upon in Spanish!

Los Opuestos- Opposites
We discussed opposites, came up with some examples and learned some vocabulary of opposites in Spanish. We also discussed different characteristics (características- a great cognate!) and related it back to their current inquiry unit of Sharing the Planet.
We then read a book about a dog and a cat, finding many opposites in the book.

Países de habla hispana
We looked at all the countries around the world that speak Spanish. Students came up with a list of all the Spanish-speaking countries they knew of and then we filled in the rest. We also learned a mnemonic device to help us remember the Central American countries-
Billy Goats Eat Hay Not Cheese Puffs (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panamá)
Students then worked in groups to come up with a mnemonic phrase to help them remember the countries in South America. We had some very creative phrases!
