3/10/2019 celebrating Special, student-initiated read aloud moment in Mrs. Ben's 1st period Spanish III-Honors Class!Read NowLast Wednesday, while we were talking about our childhoods this young man wondered out of his seat. He walked toward my desk where the Spanish Children's books of our PHS World Language Read Aloud Library were, took a book to his desk and began to read. The selection was ¡Jonrón! By Alex Rodríguez. This young man plays baseball, so this book was of particular interest and relevance to him.
I offered to read the book aloud to the class and all the students were excited about that. During the reading, one student even read parts of the book with me, so it became a shared read aloud. Also, while we read, students were able to make connections with new vocabulary that was specific to baseball by using their background knowledge and deducing their meaning by context. The reading was a success and all students were actively engaged and reading for meaning! This group is amazing and we have so many teachable moments! On one final note, I would like to thank Mr. Hearn for making the PHS World Language Read Aloud Library possible for our students. Each semester, we add five titles to our read aloud library in each language taught here at PHS.

We all have memories of our childhood, memories that we cherish and look back on as we grow. In this post, Mrs. Ben's Spanish Three- Honors students reminisce on their childhood and share their learning about childhood memories and what some of the favorite childhood games and activities of children from the target culture were, while comparing them to our own experiences. Spanish III-Honors students created portraits of their childhood and shared them with their classmates. One of the big takeaways of this unit was the similarities in some of our childhood games. We also tried to envision how some of the games that are unique to the target culture would have been if we had experienced them. Here are some examples of our childhood memories. Enjoy! |
