Introduction
|
Hi class, yesterday we learned to name objects using the Spanish language. Ask, “who knows the Spanish name for toys? Wait for their responses and share ideas. Say, “today we are going to put the objects in groups by its Spanish name then by the English name. As we practice, we are going to be working on our movement skills and understanding different ethnic names for the objects. It’s going to be fun. “

|
Lesson Development

1. Place the objects on the floor and different positions.
2. Label tables with English and Spanish names.
3. Model how you can move the objects from the floor into the tables.
4. Ask the students to name the objects as they pick them up.

|
Assessment (Practice/Check for Understanding)

1. Have the children pick up the objects one at a time
2. Remind them to restate the different names
3. Monitor the children as they pick the objects and move.

Bring the children together and summarize the learning by talking on what they did. Ask them if they can remember the different ethnic names assigned to the toys and objects.
