FELIZ DIA DEL AMOR Y LA AMISTAD (Happy Day of Love and Friendship)

Feliz Día de San Valentín (Happy Valentines Day).  Children learned that in Spanish speaking countries we usually say "FELIZ DIA DEL AMOR Y LA AMISTAD" (Happy Day of Love and Friendship).

Kindergarten

Children created their own bookmarks that say "Corazón Feliz" (Happy Heart).  They also created their own Sweethearts candies with a message in Spanish.  They could choose to write:        1) Te amo - I love you     2) Besos - Kisses   3) Abrazos - Hugs

 

1st Grade

 Students received a list of 11 Valentine words in Spanish.  First they put the words in alphabetical order and then they tried to translate to English as many words as they could.  Then they made Valentine's Day certificates.  Each student wrote a  special activity that they would like to give as a gift to a family member or friend.  Examples: 1) Ayudar a cocinar - to help with cooking. 2) Lavar el carro - to wash the car. 3) Limpiar mi cuarto - to clean my room.

 

2nd Grade

The children wrote a message inside two hearts that united different people around the world.    The messages could be:                                                                                                                                                         1) Somos amigos - We are friends.                                                                                                                                       2) Somos unidos - We are united.                                                                                                                                      3) Somos felices - We are happy.                                                                                                                                     4) Somos corazones - We are hearts.

They also made their own Valentine's Day cards to give to family or friends with messages in Spanish.

 

3rd Grade

Students received a long list of activities that could either give your heart energy or take away the energy from your heart.  First we all worked together translating all the activities to English.  Many words were cognate words.  Then they were able to work with a partner to decide which activities made your heart strong and which activities made your heart tired.  The last step was to list in Spanish the activities that they liked to practice to make their heart healthy.  They wrote these activities inside a heart cut-out.

 

FIRST Lego League Team
