1. Calendar time: 5 minutes everyday!
Supplies Needed: Print off March calendar and/or days of the week flashcards below
After tuning in to the digital lesson, you and your students will soon be Spanish day-of-the-week pronunciation champs! Woohoo! For an extra dose of fun, treat your students to the Bonus Video below in which Chicken "Pollo" (pronounced poh-yoh) shares his wisdom on the days of the week. Then you'll be all set to jazz up your daily calendar routine! Say the days of the week in English followed by Spanish! When you feel your students are ready, ask them what day is today "hoy", (pronounced oh-ee) tomorrow "mañana" (pronounced mah-nyah-nha)and what day was yesterday "ayer" (pronounced ah-yehd). Print off the march calendar and point to the days in Spanish as you say them together. Or you can print off the days of the week flashcards and use those to help you review.

3. Exercises: 10 minutes
Exercises are a highlight in my Spanish class! Why, you might wonder? Firstly, the audio file guides you through the whole activity effortlessly. Also, children thoroughly enjoy these Spanish exercises, especially when it turns into a lively competition to see who can freeze and strike the silliest or most peculiar pose when the word "Alto" (pronounced
All-toh) is announced! After exercising with the audio file, select a student to be the "Alto Caller." Have them practice saying "Alto" a few times in front of the class. Next, get the class started chanting and doing one of the exercises and the Alto Caller can call out "Alto" whenever they want their classmates to freeze and strike a funny pose! Everyone will be amazed at how much control one student has in Spanish just by calling out "Alto!" Be prepared – everyone will probably be eager to take a turn as the Alto Caller!
