The teacher presented images with captions of daily routines, and the student organized the flashcards in order. The teacher said each routine aloud (in Spanish), and the student repeated after the teacher. The student then completed a worksheet where they had to sequence the daily routines using glue. At the end, the teacher and students played a game of “Guess What the Person Is Doing” by acting out different routines. Remi and Libby were present. Teddy was absent.

The teacher presented a PowerPoint showing children expressing different emotions. The teacher introduced each emotion in Spanish, and the students repeated after her. Afterwards, the teacher handed out flashcards, and the students identified the emotions the teacher was mimicking. Next, the students played a memory game, saying the emotion in Spanish each time they made a match. To conclude, the students completed a worksheet where they described how they felt using the emotions they learned in class today.
Today, we began with a review of the U.S. coins. The visual differences of the coins were described, the presidents on the coins were named, and their values were stated. Then, we used realistic-sized plastic coins to work on fundamental money concepts, including counting, sorting, and addition. The number of each coin needed to make one dollar was discussed, and the amounts were counted and sorted into groups. Once the correct amount was reached, it was traded in for a one-dollar bill.
I introduced the students to the simple but beautiful line drawing of one of Picasso’s peace doves. I demonstrated a step-by-step drawing of a dove having each student follow along on her/his paper. Then I had each student draw a dove independently by following a simple step-by-step worksheet. They drew several doves each and then painted them. Since they know how to mix colors, they enjoy making colors out of the primary paint colors: red, yellow, and blue. Super work!
