Our puppet friend Lázaro, has taught the third graders three new phrases for actions.These are "I talk," "I play," and "I eat" (Hablo, juego, como). Using the magnetic Symtalk cards, the students have started to form sentences incorporating the parts of the house which they'v learned. The students have also learned to place the word "no" in front of an action to express negation. Ex. No hablo. I don't talk.
International Peace Day (Monday) was also discussed in our class, and the kids discussed ways in which they could make their communities a more peaceful place. We finished our discussion by shaking maracas North, South, East, and West, as a way of wishing peace throughout the world.
The students have also enjoyed listening to an excerpt from the bilingual book "My Diary from Here to There." Listening to the sounds made in both English and Spanish helped the children to compare and contrast the two languages. Currently I'm teaching the kids about the different rooms of the house, and they'll soon be making new sentences with these words.

My Diary from Here to There is a great book. And good idea to use it for teaching rooms in a house! Keep up the good work!
