This Week in Spanish Class: Exploring Body Parts and Cubism
Dear Parents,
This week, our third graders embarked on an exciting journey to learn Spanish vocabulary related to body parts—words such as boca, ojos, cabeza, pelo, and nariz. To enhance this learning experience, I incorporated the art and techniques of the famous Spanish painter Picasso, focusing on his innovative style of Cubism.
Students had a lot of fun as they learned about the origin of Picasso’s art and the key elements of Cubism. They then applied these concepts by creating their own imaginary friend using cubist techniques. This interdisciplinary approach not only reinforced their Spanish vocabulary but also enriched their understanding of art and creativity.
I am thrilled to share some of the wonderful artworks that our third graders created during this lesson. Their enthusiasm and creativity truly made the day memorable!
Thank you for your continued support in your child’s learning journey.
