SESSION 1 WHY LEARN SPANISH? POR QUÉ APRENDER ESPAÑOL? Goals: To make students aware of the value of acquiring a foreign language. To make students aware of the richness and diversity of Spanish-language culture throughout the world. To make students aware of the importance of the Spanish language in New York City, where roughly 25% of the population speaks Spanish. To establish that each week at this time, they will have Spanish class and be learning new things and receiving new things that they should keep in their new Spanish folders. In-class activities: Sing: Hola, Hola, Hola song. Read: Short story about the importance of being bilingual (optional). Ice-breaker, lead a discussion about the issues described in the goals above. How many students speak another language at home? Why learn other languages? Why learn Spanish? Where is Spanish spoken? Who are the Spanish-speaking people in the students lives and communities? Present the list of English words that have been borrowed from Spanish. Talk about why languages might borrow words from other languages. Discuss some of the words on list. Practice pronouncing some of them in Spanish. Give out Spanish folders and stickers. Have the students decorate their own folders however they like. They must include the following information: nombre, clase and that it is their Spanish folder (folleto de español). While the students are working on their folders, Spanish teachers should take the opportunity to talk to classroom teachers about their students Spanish folders, where they can be kept, and that they can take them home to work on their sheets as long as they have them back by the next Spanish class. It is also a good idea to exchange phone numbers with the classroom teacher so that they can inform you of any upcoming trips or days where they cannot have Spanish class for some reason. All administrative issues should also be handled today such as getting class lists from teachers, finding out about half days and other calendar issues so that changes in the schedule can be planned in advance. If time permits: introduce numbers 1-10 (or higher if appropriate). Sing: 10 Niñitos, 5

Sing: Adios, amigos, adios. Materials needed: Why it is important to be bilingual short story, list of borrowed Spanish words, number flash cards, Hola, Hola, Hola song, Adios, amigos, adios song and Diez Niñitos song Spanish folders for each student, stickers Classroom teacher: ****Find a spot in the classroom where the students can leave their Spanish folders. If there is free time during the week, it would be great to have the class take out their Spanish folders and finish any unfinished activity sheets. If they want, they should be able to take them home with them to practice or work on unfinished activity sheets, but they need to have them back in class for the next week s Spanish lesson. Additional suggestion: Keep a list of borrowed Spanish words and add to list every time you and your students come up with a new one.**** 6

SESSION 2 EL ABECEDARIO Goals: To teach the alphabet in Spanish. To teach the vowels in Spanish and the sounds that they make. In-class activities: To teach el alfabeto, use Spanish alphabet flash cards. Introduce and have the students repeat the letter in Spanish. Point out the letters that do not exist in the English alphabet (ch, ñ, ll, rr). Show the cards one more time and have the students stand up if their first name begins with that letter. Sing: Las Vocales song, Let s sing and learn in Spanish. Play: Hangman, making sure to use words that the students are somewhat familiar with, reinforcing the letters in español. Take home: el alfabeto sheet to practice letter names in Spanish with their families. Materials needed: Spanish alphabet flash cards, el alfabeto sheet, Let s Sing and Learn in Spanish tape, Classroom teacher: Review alphabet with students. Create a word wall in Spanish and add new words as they are learned. 13

14

SESSION 3 ABC S CONT D Goals: To review el alfabeto. To review the vowels and their corresponding sounds. In-class activities: Review the alphabet by showing the flash cards and having children repeat the name of each letter after you. Lay out some of the alphabet flash cards on the floor and have two children try to find the letter you call out. The first one to correctly identify the letter wins. You can play in teams. Sing: Las Vocales song again, this time challenging the students to think of words in Spanish that begin with the consonant - vowel combination that you ve chosen. For example, for sa, se, si, so, su, they might come up with sábado, septiembre, señor, silla, sopa, super. Help them and teach new words if they can t come up with their own words. At this early stage, you may want to rely on the Spanish-speaking students in the class to volunteer words that the other students don t know yet. This usually makes the Spanish speakers feel helpful and special and it is nice to have students teaching other students instead of having it teacher centered. (You may want to use this song as a warm-up activity in the future to remind the students of the vowel sounds and as they progress they will know more words to use as examples). If time allows, you can begin reading Say Hola to Spanish by Susan Middleton Elya, pointing out in the book the new letters and sounds they have learned. Materials needed: Let s Sing and Learn in Spanish tape, Spanish alphabet flash cards, Say Hola to Spanish, Susan Middleton Elya, 15

SESSION 4 SAY HOLA TO SPANISH Goals: To read a book and learn some new Spanish words. To use these words to practice how to pronounce words in Spanish as a follow up to learning the ABC s in Spanish the last 2 classes. To review the vowels and their corresponding sounds. In-class activities: Slowly read aloud Say Hola to Spanish by Susan Middleton Elya. Have the students repeat the words in Spanish aloud after you read them. When possible, point out the pronunciation of the words and emphasize the corresponding letters in the words to their sound. For example, when you get to perro, have them practice rolling their tongues and making the rr sound. Point out some words that will help them with the vowel sounds such as ojos for the vowel o. Bring up the letter ñ when you get to the words niño and piña and ask the students if they remember learning this special letter in Spanish. Do the same for ll when you get to caballo. Practice the pronunciation with them of some of the more difficult letters like j, using jamón and jabón. Finally, point out the words at the end of the book that we get from Spanish as they see that they are the same in English and Spanish (piñata, mosquito, burrito).

Choose a student to tell the class today s weather and have them come up to the front to put the right weather card on today s date on the calendar. (From now on, you should open every lesson with the calendar as a routine).

Then one can ask Cómo estás? and the other can reply muy bien gracias, y Ud? (from the song) or y tú? (you may want to briefly discuss the difference between informal and formal on a VERY elementary level here.)
