Spanish Interactive Notebooks in Grades K-1

Spanish Interactive Notebooks in Grades K-1

by | Jul 29, 2018 | Interactive Notebooks

I strongly believe that teaching a language through movement, games, and songs should be the main approach when teaching young learners. However, this age group also enjoys engaging in some hands on activities. After all, most young children are makers at heart. This set (available on TpT) will provide simple activities with minimum cutting and basic coloring. I also included some of my songs that I know my younger students enjoy. When using Interactive Notebooks I advise teachers to have the children cut out the pieces and glue them onto the notebook before coloring. That way, it will be easier for children to keep all the pieces together. There are several activities where envelopes will be required, but you can still create your own. Interactive Notebooks are a lot of fun! This bundle includes teaching tips, audio files for the songs and version of the activities for folders and composition notebooks.

MY TOP FIVE ACTIVITIES FOR INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS

MY TOP FIVE ACTIVITIES FOR INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS

I have been in love with the Interactive Notebooks since day one! It’s a fun way to keep your students engaged with hands on activities that will help them feel a sense of pride. You will hear them asking when they can take the notebook home to share with their families or teach Spanish to their siblings. Interactive Notebooks are a great tool for teaching for Spanish if used correctly. Given that I emphasize oral aspects of language learning, I normally wait to use Interactive Notebooks until the end of a unit or story. They are a way for students to keep track of what we do during the school year and for me to gather qualitative data in an authentic, developmental format.

Here are my top 5 activities for Interactive Notebooks:

1. Así soy yo: In this activity students can describe themselves and write about their likes and dislikes in Spanish.

2. Los colores: This activity goes beyond helping students identify colors in Spanish. It turns into a fun memory game!
3. El Calendario: This definitely is an interactive way to help students remember months, days of the week and seasons in Spanish. Students can also use it anytime when they need to talk about the date.
4. La Familia: Students enjoy learning names for family members with the flower activity. This has room for them to describe their own families. This set includes a variety of activities for different levels.
5. Mi Armario: Students have a lot of fun putting this activity together! They get to customize it and talk about what the doll should wear according to the weather. There is also space for them to write about what they have in their closets.
