“If Fredy here were a “Señor” like your “abuelo” and it were night time, how would you greet him?” I asked the class.”Buenas noches, Señor!” the class chimes together.

Imagine for a moment three students in front of the class: an “abuela” (grandma or elderly lady) clad in pearls and a scarf, an “abuelo” (grandpa or elderly man) sporting a sombrero, and an “alumno” who gets to be “lo normal”. Each represent one of the various people students might encounter when practicing informal and formal Spanish greetings.

This year the 6th grade classes completed an introduction into Spanish. Engaging in role- play activities such as these, students also performed skits, created drawings, practiced with worksheets, and composed short writing assignments, and viewed movies in Spanish and about Spanish culture.

Student work was particularly exemplary in completing the mid-year group projects; a summation of research, writing, and artwork inspired by the cultures of various Spanish-speaking countries.
