As students enter middle school, the one thing they are usually the most excited about, and the most scared about is learning another language. Once they get settled into their Spanish or French classes, however, their fears disappear. So, exactly what is going on in those classes?
In Spanish, students have been learning letters, numbers, months, days, and family member names. Every once in a while they also get to play the circle game. It’s where you say different words in Spanish, and in every fifth word you’re out. It helps students learn words that are on their tests. They also got to watch Rango with Spanish subtitles.
In French, students have been learning letters, numbers, months and days. Every Friday, kids bring in French foods to share. So far they’ve had chocolate éclairs and creampuffs. Students also have a lot of fun with worksheets. One time everyone even made their own connect-the-dots puzzle with French numbers.
So, as you can see, learning a new language is not scary at all. It can be a lot of fun!
