Numbers: We plan in creating flashcards with the spanish word on one side and then the english word and the actual number on the other side. Then we'll give each group of kids a pile of candies most likely starbursts and gow through it again with them counting them out according to the number. You don't need English word on flash card. Just Spanish word and arabic numeral. Zero 0 Uno 1 Change in your lesson plan- I will create bingo cards with 0-10 randomly throughout. You will only have 11 numbers so I will make a 4x4 grid and repeat numbers. Then they may have candy for prize or to count at end. You don't want to give them candy to count too early- it will distract them!

Colors: First go through colors with flashcards and have students repeat 2-3 times. Quick review with I spy and colors. We plan on doing finger painting. We are going to buy the paints then put some on a plate for each table of students and give them a piece of paper. Then Natalie, Rebecca and myself will demonstrate the colors on a large piece of paper in the front of the classroom. We will recite the colors to the students and use them at the same time so they are both hands on and visually learning. We will also make large color flashcards to be left with the teacher so she can further continue to review with the students.

Vegetables: Go over vocabulary with flashcards 2-3 times. We are going to make salsa and have everything cut up before hand so that the kids can put the salsa together. You call the color of vegetable and they find them and put into bowl. They can sample the salsa along with some tortilla chips. As the salsa is being made, flashcards will be shown, corresponding to the ingredients. Not all of the vegetables are in the salsa so those will be done at the end.

Animals: We will be bringing in stuffed animals and using the flashcards to teach the names, and passing around each stuffed animal once we finish our teaching. Next will be a break for animal crackers, seeing if they can see any animals they know, to finally and on animal sounds in spanish, possibly with the same animals, or maybe farm animals instead (will have to see).

Clothing- flashcards to present clothing. Then packing for a trip game to drill. Review clothing again- Mike puts on each item as found.
