This 6 page packet includes a plethora of up to date statistics and information regarding Spanish speakers in the USA. Much of it is from the 2010 census. There are places for the kids to answer questions, make predictions, and write their thoughts in regards to learning Spanish. Why is it important?

I'm obsessed with using 'movie talk' in my Spanish classroom! This 3 day unit incorporates movie talk to this really cute video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWrDbfSLk1E (Little bunny excited about valentines day, takes cupcakes to his 'love' but another bunny beats him to his 'love,he's sad, walks away crying, runs into another sad bunny, they fall in love) It also incorporates the song 'Me Voy' by Julieta Venegas. Included you will find: 1. Cloze story script to the movie 2. Cloze sto

I'm addicted to movie talks! They're such a fantastic way to achieve comprehensible input, engaging lessons and to stay in the target language. This Spanish unit is based off of the youtube movie 'oktapodi'. I had nothing to do with the making of the movie. These are just to serve as supplemental resources. This unit I made in 'present tense'. I use it for my Spanish 1 classes, however, because 'repetition' is the key- it could easily be used for Spanish 2 as well. In this unit you will find

My students were begging me to teach them some Christmas songs in Spanish. So this year, We learned Rodolfo el Reno (Rudolph the red nose reindeer) and 'Doce días de la Navidad' (12 days of Christmas). I really enjoyed teaching the 12 days of Christmas because it has ordinal numbers, regular numbers, and many objects! Enjoy!

When you ask a student "¿Cómo estás? usually the respond with "estoy bien". I'm over it. I'm bored with it. I want my kids to be able to truly tell me how they are and what they are feeling. Not only does it give me information on their current state of being, but it could lead to a story a lot easier than 'I'm good'. This hand out has 12 different responses students can use to tell respond to 'How are you?' Enjoy!

This student questionnaire is AWESOME! The questions are from Karen Rowen, and the design is by me! There are many basic questions such as "Name, age, parents names, email address, one thing a teacher did last year that you liked/disliked, etc" Also there are fun random questions such as: If you had a million dollars what would you do? Who is your hero? Favorites? However, my favorite question was the last one. It is open ended and basically asks what is going on in their lives. I am always a
