Queridas familias,
After a round of greetings we began this Wednesday's class with a game of Lotería. One of the students was the official card caller and, although the cards are in random order, I ended up with more than my share of luck; filling all the slots on my card prior to anyone else. As a result, and by consensus, the rest of the group insisted the winner should give out the prizes! Short on prizes for everyone we agreed for me to pick a number between 1-50 and for the class to take turns guessing. After a couple of rounds Rafaela won the contests with the number 29 and was awarded the prize - a mini Vincent van Gogh book with Spanish titles to each of the featured paintings. Unfortunately it was left in the classroom by Rafaela but I have it and will return it next time.
Next we moved outside to put some stored energy to good use. We played several games including:
- Cooperative disentangling: Make a circle, close your eyes and gently reach in to find and hold on to two hands. Open eyes and try to undo the knots without breaking the chain!
- Round-up and sit: Make a circle, keeping the circle intact put hands on the person in front and all together, slowly sit down until everyone is sitting on each other's lap. For the bonus trick, try scooting slowly in a circle.
- Round the forest - One at a time, students ran around our forest of 5 oak trees using a body part to tag each tree. Each run was timed and the students got at least one chance to improve their own time. The body parts they chose were la mano, el pié y la cola - the hand, the foot, and the behind. The use of la nariz - (the nose), was respectfully declined
Me gusta... - No me gusta... (I like... - I don't like...) We had brief look at the theme of likes and dislikes. We will get back to that this week.
Hasta el Miércoles,
Señor Lobo
