Students in Profe McQueen's Spanish I classes are participating in Señor Wooly's Spring Fling with a unit called "Billy La Bufanda" -- a scarf who goes on adventures. Their first activity was Conversation Cards in which they asked and answered questions using new vocabulary. Then, they read descriptions on their postcard papers and matched them to the countries on the slides. Finally, they participated in a fast round of Finish the Sentence by listening to Profe's sentences and stating the matching countries. #tongienation #usd464

Students in Profe McQueen's Spanish 1 classes played Pass It Up! to review the video story "El mono" (The Monkey). After dividing into teams, students listened to sentences in Spanish, looked for the corresponding screenshots, and passed the illustrations forward to their teammates. Those in the front had to race to put them on the whiteboard and get back to their chairs first. Yes, they were loud, but they were listening, thinking, collaborating, and moving--high energy AND engagement! #tongienation #usd464
