I just learned that the Draw Something App for iPhone and iPad is now available in Spanish and 12 other languages. How cool is that! One way to use this is to have my students set this App to Spanish and play it with other students in the class, outside of school. Maybe even throw in some extra credit points if they reach a certain number of plays and then show it to me when they reach that number. An even better way to involve the students with the App is to find another class of students learning Spanish, either in the U.S. or in another country, and partner my students up with them...OR...find a class in a Spanish country to match my students to their students, or simply play as a whole class. If I can find a class from a Spanish country that is learning English, maybe we could alternate playing the game in Spanish and English. I love when the creators of the Apps make them available in other languages! If you are reading this blog and are interested in starting some type of collaboration with this App, please post a comment below or send me an e-mail @ [email protected].

These printable Spanish lacing cards are a hit with students, especially the ones who do best with hands-on activities. The cards are basically matching or fill-in-the-blank exercises, but kids do them by lacing string or yarn to join the two columns. If they lace the cards correctly, the yarn on the back of the card matches the lines. These are not preschool lacing cards. One of the cards focuses on colors and animals. The order of the columns might seem backward, but the group I made it for was more familiar with colors than animals. I wanted to give them the color first and have them match it to the animal. I also wanted to give them the text and have them look for the image that matched. For example, they match ______ es verde to the green frog and the words la rana. Then they can read the whole sentence La rana es verde. All of the sentences on the second card use this structure: Para dormir uso una cama. Kids associate the infinitive in the first part of the sentence with the related object: dormir – cama. Links to Printable Spanish Lacing Cards for Beginning Readers Animals and Colors (Ex. El pato es amarillo.) Actions and Objects (Ex. Para escribir, uso un lápiz.) How to Make and Use the Printable Spanish Lacing Cards – Print the page on card stock. – Fold the page in half vertically. Make sure the corners and edges match up. – Make the card narrower by cutting about a half inch off the left edges. This makes it easier to punch the holes and you use less yarn. You can tape the left edges closed at the top and bottom of the card if you like. – Wherever there is X, use a hole punch to make a hole. You can check the back of the card and match the hole to the blue line. – On the back of the card, tape one end of a long piece of string where it says Pega la cuerda aquí. – Wrap the other end of the yarn with tape to make it easier to thread or use a plastic needle if you have one. I use packing tape because it is the right width and sturdy. – Thread the yarn from the back of the card to the front through the first (top) hole on the left. – Find the correct answer and thread the yarn from the front of the card to the back through the hole beside the answer. – Thread the yarn from the back of the card to the front through the second hole on the left. – Continue matching the two columns. Be sure to avoid tangling the yarn on the back. When you have finished, turn the card over. The yarn will lie along the blue lines if the answers are correct. Of course, kids can also just draw lines to match the two columns. The lines will not match the lines on the card, so you will probably want to cut off the right side of the page.

It was touch and go there for awhile today. I didn't think I was going to make it. The kids were all sugared up from Halloween and then we had a bad wind and rain storm. It was almost an in-day for lunch recess! I wouldn't have made it through the day if my little firsties had stayed in for recess with me. They would have driven me crazy! I really love the little dickens, I do. But they were sooooo hyper today. I needed my lunch time break. Finally, the rain stopped and our principal (bless her heart) must have heard the sugar buzz in the school, because just as we were going to lunch changed it to an outside day!!! So I was able to get my little break and survive the rest of the day. It's a wonder what a little fresh air can do for hyper kiddos. We are working on counting syllables in words. This is such a hard concept for some of my kids. I think some kids just can't say the words right or know what a beat is or something. I've tried everything. Anyhow, here are some activities we've done. To introduce syllables we said a little rhyme and sorted pictures of food into bags of 1, 2, or 3 syllables. This was given to me by one of the teachers on my team. I think it's important for the kids to see the word along with the picture so I made these other activities. We did the syllable punch. I made two versions of it, one for a center activity and the other if you don't want to mess with hole punches you can color instead. Then we did the sort in our sort books. If you don't do sort books you could just glue them on a paper. Click on the picture if you'd like a PDF. FREE of course!
