Teaching about Frida Kahlo or family vocabulary? Frida Kahlo's life had many twists and turns and her family life was full of strife. Teaching about Frida's family is a great way to teach family vocabulary such as media hermana, viud@, divoricad@, casad@, fallecid@ and so many more. It is also a great way for students to see themselves reflected in the curriculum by showing diverse family structures. I used this while teaching the novela "Frida Kahlo" by Kristy Placido, but great for all classe

A short graphic organizer or project for students of all ages and abilities. This guide, which is all in Spanish, runs them through important features of countries that the students can research.

Would also look great all hung up on a bulletin board once the students have completed them.

Since it has all the instructions they need, I just have to put it on their desk quietly

The first day of school is incredibly stressful. I have created a checklist for new teachers or stressed teachers who like to stay organized! The checklist includes generic things that need to be done before or during the first week of school but there are open spaces so that you can customize it to your own school.
