Classroom Context

I work in a public school located in a beautiful building erected more than 100 years ago. I work with a class of up to 27 first graders. Most of my students are native English speakers, with a handful of English learners. Parents at my school have enthusiastically embraced our partial Spanish immersion program for the past several years, and those who place their children in my class, which has a limited number of seats available, are very supportive of my activities and teaching policies. My students learn a great deal of Spanish during the school year, and in the process, they also learn many interesting facts about Hispanic culture. I am always looking for engaging activities to foster in the children a life-long enthusiasm for Spanish culture and language. I believe this unit will provide many hours of enjoyable learning to everyone in my class.
