A Note from our Global Studies Teacher
Hola!
My name is Stacey Zimmerman, and I am the Spanish teacher for the Global Studies Program. I am excited to be back at Thorpe Creek and working with your children!
During our time together, the students actively learn the Spanish language through whole group and small group games, hands-on-activities, songs, rhythm, stories, and movement. Material is taught through activities that stimulate a high level of student involvement.
First grade students have been working on the numbers 1-10 in Spanish. They have learned greetings such as good morning, good afternoon, good night, hello, and good-bye. They have learned how to ask “What is your name?” and respond to that question.
Second, third, and fourth grade students have been working on numbers to 20. They have learned how to ask “Where do you live?” and respond to that question. They are currently working on identifying shapes in Spanish.
We are having a great time in Global Studies! It is wonderful to see the students’ enthusiasm and excitement to learn about new languages and cultures!
