WATCH NEXT: Syllabus for Spanish Class kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZ6qjdd3rqywhp8.html

I am a homeschooling mother of two and my oldest is in 2nd grade. I learned my Spanish independently and have truly enjoyed my learning process over the years. And now I have the joy of teaching my son, something that is very important for his heritage and who he is as a half latino! So when I teach him in Spanish I don't have any English during that time, the main reason being he hears English all day long from his Dad and me outside of his study time. So no English. Just Spanish ! He is truly starting to enjoy it which is big success in my heart!! For sure! Love you content very helpful for this homeschooling mother! Keep up the great work!

I love, love, love that you rep for the traveling teacher! I am traveling for the first time in 24 years.

Good tips Ashley! I have my own classroom and just finished my first year. I want to add better question words posters.. I just had the Spanish words. I want to add good pronoun posters (yo, tú, él, etc) I have some common target words (tiene, es, quiere, etc) i have a transition/ connectors list like pero, entonces, primero, etc) and a few more. School just purchased somos for me like I requested so I think I'll need less theme lista that went with my old stuff .

You're amazing thank you for sharing all your knowledge!!

Thank you! Sharing a classroom with another teacher that is controlling and very territorial is really difficult.

Great video!!!

When I was teaching high school French 1 and 2, I did have verb posters up in the math classroom that I was teaching in. They had both French and English on them. And I had a poster with weather expressions on it (images plus words in French). I am currently only teaching upper level French classes (in the same math room) and decided to take the posters down last year as my students don't need them. And I am a fan of less visual clutter in the front of the classroom so that students are focusing more on me or the Smartboard and less on what is on the walls.

Staying in 3rd person is a pitfall I’ve noticed many CI/tprs teachers fall in to. I’m still CI/tprs, but I think it’s important to include all conjugations, of at least the present tense, so kids get a better understanding of the complexity of verbs. I also like to all the different pronouns (including ones like “someone, somehow, somewhere… etc).

Yes

Agree on 3rd person, include 1st person so student can respond.

sometimes, depends. more like pictures

Question for the verbs: What do you put as the English for ser/estar? Do you differentiate them on the wall or put the same translation and differentiate them as they come up in class?

no

Nope
