¡Mi Rutina Diaria! – Junior High Spanish
During Quarter 1, our Junior High Spanish students explored daily routines (las rutinas diarias) while learning how to use reflexive verbs to describe everyday activities in Spanish!
To make learning more creative and engaging, students brought their routines to life through fun and familiar characters such as Nemo, Spider-Man, Hello Kitty, and many more!
Students practiced writing and speaking in Spanish as they created and presented their characters' daily routines, building confidence in their language skills while having fun!
The photo above captures one of our talented sixth-grade students proudly presenting his character's daily routine in Spanish!
I am so proud of our students for their creativity, hard work, and willingness to challenge themselves as Spanish language learners.
