Es muy importante para mí que mis alumnos se sientan emocionados de aprender a leer y reconocer las palabras de uso frecuente. He sido maestra de tercer grado y se lo importante que son estas palabras y lo difícil que es para los estudiantes cuando no pueden leer las palabras en tercer grado. Por eso como maestra de niños más pequeños he decidido que es una prioridad en mi salón. ¡Pero lo mejor de todo es que a mis alumnos les encantan! Mis alumnos saben lo que son las palabras de uso frecuente pero para divertirnos más las llamamos "Palabras Monstruo". Al principio del año (o cuando mis alumnos estén listos) presento las palabras monstruo con MUCHA emoción. Primero llega a mi salón el monstruo amarillo. Y explico que el monstruo amarillo tiene 10 palabras que ellos tienen que practicar y aprender. Una vez que sepan las 10 palabras del monstruo amarillo, celebraremos!! Mis alumnos reciben un pequeño premio y escribimos su nombre en el monstruo amarillo que tenemos en el pasillo de nuestro salón para que todos se sientan orgullosos de ellos. Mis estudiantes practican cuando terminan su trabajo, durante centros de lectura, y practicamos juntos todos los días. Una de mis cosas favoritas es ver a los alumnos ayudándose entre ellos mismos sin pedir mi ayuda. Muchas veces los he visto practicar juntos y los niños que están en un nivel más avanzado que sus compañeros los ayudan a pasar de nivel. ¡DOBLE práctica=maestra feliz! Mis alumnos tienen una carpeta (folder) donde documentan todo su progreso. El folder incluye una hoja de progreso y gráficas para cada monstruo. Después de cada evaluación, los alumnos colorean el número de palabras correctas en su gráfica. Cuando los alumnos completan la gráfica de un nivel pueden colorear el monstruo correspondiente en su hoja de progreso. Este folder ha sido una gran ayuda para mostrar a los padres de familia el avance de sus hijos. Ellos fácilmente pueden ver cuanto han avanzado sus hijos desde el principio del año. También es una herramienta excelente para demostrar el avance de tus alumnos durante tu evaluación como maestro(a). Folders con portada y gráficas Hojas de progreso En mi salón celebramos el esfuerzo y progreso de muchas maneras. Cuando un alumno termina un nivel de palabras, ¡toda la clase aplaude y celebra! Escribimos el nombre de ese estudiante en el monstruo que esta en el pasillo y el estudiante recibe un pequeño premio. Aquí están los premios que utilizamos en nuestra clase: Monstruo amarillo: lápiz de monstruo Monstruo rojo: tatuaje temporal de monstruo Monstruo azul: juguete de monstruo Monstruo verde: pelota de monstruo Monstruo morado: paleta de monstruo Monstruo café: juguete de monstruo Monstruo anaranjado: juguete de monstruo Monstruo azul fuerte: pato monstruo Monstruo gris: monstruo de peluche Monstruo rosa: vaso de monstruo Estos son los monstruos que utilizamos afuera del salón y escribimos el nombre de los niños cuando pasan a un nivel nuevo de palabras. En mi salón utilizamos tarjetas para practicar en arillos como estos. Simplemente plastifico las tarjetas, las perforo y las coloco en un anillo. Yo tengo 4 arillos de cada color de palabras (especialmente de los primeros dos niveles). Así aseguro que tengamos suficientes para los alumnos que quieran practicar. También utilizo estas listas de palabras. Estas listas las llevan los alumnos a su casa para practicar con su familia. Cada clase y cada alumno es diferente. Lo mejor de este programa de palabras es que lo puedes adaptar a tus necesidades. Durante algunos años escolares mis alumnos necesitan retos más difíciles porque la mayoría están listos para ellos. Otros años mis alumnos toman más tiempo en cada lista de palabras. Pero eso no me preocupa. Siempre y cuando mis alumnos avancen semana tras semana yo soy feliz! La rúbrica para determinar si tus alumnos están listos o no para el siguiente nivel depende de ti y tus expectativas completamente. En mi salón los alumnos pasan de nivel cuando puedan leer las 10 palabras con fluidez (menos de dos segundos por palabra). He tenido estudiantes que necesitan un reto más grande. Para ellos ajusto el programa y para pasar de nivel deben de escribir las palabras correctamente. No siempre. Como lo mencioné anteriormente, todas las clases son diferentes. Algunas clases ya tienen la capacidad de aprender todas las listas. Otras no, pero ese no es problema! Solo utilizo las listas que considero apropiadas para mis alumnos. Si tienes alguna pregunta en como utilizar las palabras monstruo no dudes en contactarme! ¡Lo más importante es que tus alumnos estén emocionados y motivados para aprender todas las palabras de uso frecuente!

Centers for Diptongos Crecientes & Decrecientes. If you are wondering how to teach diphthongs in Spanish--in primary--as part of the literacy sequence for your class, then stick with me because in this post I will show you an easy way to understand 'diptongos', and I will show you some centers that you can use to easily teach, or to easily reinforce student learning of diptongos in kindergarten through 2nd grade. For many Bilingual or Dual Language Teachers, diphthongs, or 'diptongos' can be very confusing because diphthongs are not the ordinary 'silaba directa' or 'silaba trabada' or 'silaba mixta'. Diptongos require a bit more focus on our part as teachers, especially if we did not study our teacher prep in Spanish, or in a Spanish-speaking country. So if you are slightly perplexed with the 'how-tos' of Diptongos, let alone how to teach diptongos to the Littles, then you need to: 1) Have a simple understanding of what diptongos are: Simply stated Diptongos are syllables in Spanish that are made of a sequence of 2 vowels. and 2) You need some simple ways to teach them. This post is going to keep it simple, because the focus in the primary grades is on teaching initial literacy skills in Spanish. The focus here is not on accentuation or anything other than teaching kids to read in Spanish. What are Spanish Diphthongs? As stated above, Spanish Diphthongs (diptongos) are simply a set of 2 vowels that work together to form one syllable. To better understand the "2 vowels as 1 syllable" a very simple test is to say a word with a 'sílaba diptongada' in it as you place your hand under your chin. If this is a 'silaba diptongada', then you will feel your jaw open against your hand only once for that syllavel. HOWEVER, you must pronounce the word naturally, without exaggerating the vowels. Some words to try: aguacate, bailar, anciana, escuela, apio, pies, Lourdes... and the list goes on. For our purposes of teaching initial literacy skills in Spanish, there are 2 different kinds of diptongos to be aware of: 1. Diptongos Crecientes: These diptongos begin with a weak/'debil' (or 'closed/cerrada') vowel first, and then the strong vowel. The reason the diptongo is called 'creciente' is because this means that as you say the syllable, your mouth grows open as you say the syllable-- 'crece'. These vowel combinations are: ia / ie / io / ua / ue / uo. 2. Diptongos Decrecientes: These syllables are totally to the contrary. They are 'decrecientes' meaning that as you say the syllable your mouth, or jaw, goes from more open for the strong vowel, to more closed for the weak vowel. These vowel combos start with the open vowel to the closed vowel, or the strong vowel, to the weak vowel. These vowel combinations are: ai / au / ei / eu / oi / ou. How can I effectively teach my Kindergarten, First or Second Grade class Spanish Diphthongs? First of all, know that kiddos don't need the technical jargon above so that they can do the reading. They might be able to understand about their jaw 'opening' or 'closing' with the vowel combos, but they might not understand this. That concept is not important for kiddos learning to read in Spanish. However, when kids are learning to read 'silabas diptongadas' or 'silabas directas' they do need to understand about the vowels coming together to form one syllable, as opposed to the vowels being split up as the word is pronounced. The easiest way to test out the number of syllables in a word is by putting the top of your hand under your chin as you say the word. If you feel your chin 'touch' or 'move' your hand, then there is more than one syllable. But remember, of course, not to exaggerate the pronunciation of the word and/or the syllable. Steps to effectively teach Spanish Diphthongs. 1. Teach kids to recognize the syllables in each word. As you use the 'hand under chin' method mentioned above, make sure kids do not exaggerate the pronunciation, and be sure that everyone is pronouncing the word naturally. This is the first step in recognizing 'silabas diptongadas', or any other kind of syllable as well. 2. Create an anchor chart with the Spanish Diphthongs. When your class can 'feel' the syllables as they say the words, then create with your class an anchor chart with the 2 different types of diphthongs: Diptongos Crecientes: Diptongos Decrecientes: ia / ie / io / ua / ue / uo ai / au / ei / eu / oi / ou 3. Use word work and sentence building centers for student learning reinforcement. Click on the image to see this resource on Teachers pay Teachers. Using centers in your classroom is a routine that we all do so that we can meet in small groups. I encourage you to check these out. 4. Use Shared Reading as you teach Spanish Diphthongs. Click on the image to see the resource in my TpT store today. Shared Reading, like centers, is something that as teachers we do in our own way, and these resources are some examples that you can use. Also, if you are looking for ways to use shared reading in your room, here is a video where I share my 5-Day Plan for any shared reading passage. I absolutely love this one! 5. Use Lecturitas as you teach Spanish Diphthongs. Of course we want the kids to read right away, and this is why I created these little booklets as a part of this resource! Once you have taught kids to recognize the syllables, and they can read the words with the syllables, then this is the perfect time to give them practice reading booklets! In Conclusion, the best way that I have found for teaching diptongos is by using El Dictado Trifecta in conjunction with the centers.

In this post, I'll share 4 different ways that I support my students with dual language writing!

Each Monday we collaborate with our building's new and Dual Language staff members for a professional development session based on what they highlight as their needs and/or desires for learning! This week we focused on Daily 5 ideas as all of our staff are currently working hard to get their stations and guided reading up and running! The teachers who attending the session came up with a variety of wonderful ideas and activities that could potentially be used throughout the year in these work stations. I thought some of you may enjoy taking a gander at what they came up with as well! Just a little background... we utilized a strategy many of you may be familiar with called "Round Robin" to gather ideas during our meeting. The staff were given the anchor charts with only the titles and asked to add any activity ideas they were doing, would like to do, etc. based on the title on their paper. We gave each group 1 minute to brainstorm and write their ideas, and then they were asked to pass the poster to the next group. We continued to do this until all posters had made it to all groups. This is a great strategy that you could use with your students as well to assess their background knowledge and/or learning of concepts. You could even do it at the beginning of the year to see what activities they already know and enjoy doing during Daily 5 if they are familiar with it from the year past! This may give you some insight as to what they may want to do in your classroom as well! Alright now onto the posters...keep in mind these were quickly written by our staff and we discussed them a bit after as well, so not everything may make perfect sense! But feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any and I would be happy to try my best to answer! After our meeting, I also took some time to type up all of their ideas onto one page for them to hold on to and refer to throughout the year. You are welcome to a copy if you'd like- just click on the image below :)! (Graphics: Scrappin Doodles, Priscilla Concepcion)

Today is Day#3 of Guest Blog Week! Please welcome Mynda from B is for Bilingual and check out her game idea below! Hola! My name is Mynda from B is for Bilingual. I teach 1st grade Dual Language in Texas. I teach Spanish to Native Spanish speakers and Spanish learners. I have found that hands-on activities and visuals are great for my second language learners. I love to make my lessons fun and interactive! I would like to share with you one of my favorites games! This game is similar to "Hedbanz". Your students need to pick a card without looking and put it on their forehead. Then they need to guess what picture they have by asking the correct questions!! I like to use objects that we use in school. It's easy for them, but you can always change or add more objects. The students have lots of fun formulating questions, inferences and practicing vocabulary. It's easy to get this game ready for your students to enjoy! You just need center strips, Velcro and print the cards. Once you have your materials ready, divide your class by partners or small groups and let them start the fun! To challenge my students, I give them 1 minute to try to guess their mystery object! You can find the cards set in English & Spanish {HERE}. Thank you Krista for having me today! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me! You can leave me a message on my blog or FB page! Also I would like you to follow my TPT store to find more resources in English & Spanish! Have fun! Mynda

Do you know what cognates are? Do you use them in your classroom? If you have ELLs in your classroom (even if you're not a bilingual teacher) you should be using them!! Or maybe you are a Dual Language teacher and have students learning Spanish? Use cognates!! For some strange reason my students adore that little word and we talk about it EVERY SINGLE DAY in our classroom. If you were to come into my classroom and ask one of my students what cognates are, they would simply say: words that sound about the same in English or Spanish and share a similar meaning. That's it! Pretty easy to understand...right? Let's see some examples from the Cognates Wall in my classroom: Some cognates are spelled the same in English and Spanish, some others aren't and that's ok. Like I tell my kids: as long as they sound close to another word and they remind you of a word in Spanish. Why should I use cognates in my classroom? Cognates are a super powerful strategy to use with ELLs. They are able to make a connection between the two languages and build their comprehension. Every time we are getting ready to read a new text, I immediately ask my students to look for cognates and underline them. Other times, while my students and I are talking, a cognate will come up. I usually say very quickly and excited: THAT'S A COGNATE!! Eventually, the kids start telling me when they find one and it becomes an exciting little game! WATCH OUT FOR FALSE COGNATES!! Unfortunately there are some words that appear to be cognates but they aren't. Remember that cognates have a similar sound and definition. Some words sound the same in English and Spanish but they DO NOT share the same definition. For example: the word embarrassed is usually misused by bilingual students because it sounds similar to "embarazada" in Spanish which means pregnant! We certainly don't want our kids misusing that word lol! The word carpet in English is similar to "carpeta" in Spanish. However, "carpeta" means folder. If you are going to teach cognates to your kids, you gotta watch out for these tricky words. Remember, when in doubt, just Google it! If you tell your students about false cognates they will be aware and understand not all words are cognates! And let me tell you... they will LOVE to find those false cognates. Here is a link to my favorite list of cognates. (By the way Colorin Colorado is an amazing website with very helpful articles on teaching ELLs). I use this list every day! Remember to talk to your students about false cognates, they will learn to recognize them faster than you think!

So this week we focused on how to use transition words effectively to organize our writing. To start off the week, we looked at a piece of writing, and I asked the students to share any words in the piece that they thought helped to organize it and put it in order. On Tuesday we created this transition words pencils. The purple is in Spanish and the green in English. They each have two sides- one (pictured on the Spanish pencil) provides the students with different words they can use at the beginning, middle or end of their stories. The other (pictured on English pencil) are other examples of transition words that students may find useful. The students keep these pencils in their Writer's Workshop folders and can pull them out whenever they need! Throughout the week I utilized pieces of student writing as examples and we worked together (using our nifty pencils) to add transition words to enhance the piece. On Friday, we read the story "Si le das un pastelito a un gato" by Laura Numeroff. All of her books work great for transition words- she uses so many examples! I gave each student a post-it note and asked them to listen for transition words that the author uses in her writing and jot them down as I read. Afterword we shared the examples we had found as well as discussed how using these words helped the author to better organize her writing. Here is an example of some of their post-its. (Sorry the dark purple wasn't real conducive to a photo.) Look forward to a post soon about how I do Writer's Workshop in my classroom. (As soon as I can get a grasp on this whole embedding Google Docs business.) Have a great Monday!
