Papel Picado Letters! ¡A decorar!

I'm so excited to be getting back in my classroom and to decorate with my papel picado letters!  I hope you will, too!  Here are some examples of how I have used them in my classroom.

Here is a helpful video to show you more about how to use:

Happy decorating!

¡Feliz Navidad! Iron-On Transfer

This is a design I created for a cute Christmas shirt wishing everyone a ¡Feliz Navidad! 

Print this design onto Iron-On Transfer Paper that you may purchase from stores such as Target, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Staples, etc.

Iron it onto a favorite T-Shirt or Sweatshirt. 

This is sure to be a hit with your students!

¡Feliz Navidad!

These Draw-on-Grid assignments continue to be popular in my TpT Store!  They are a great assignment to do during the holidays!  They are also great for keeping students engaged while doing speaking tests with students one-on-one.  Look for more creations coming soon!  But, for now, try out one of these!  You can find them here at my store!

¡La familia!

¡Hola!  I am getting ready to post more activities/assignments, etc. for my family unit in my TpT store.  I just wanted to share with you something that I do as I begin this unit.  You might do this before or after you present a vocabulary list for the family.  Students should be able to understand what you are saying by the pictures in your PowerPoint and, therefore, learn the vocabulary or at least recognize it in context.

I put together a PowerPoint with pictures to introduce my family and some of my extended family to my students.  

I then type up a list of questions to go along with the PowerPoint (each slide is numbered to help them stay on track.)  This is not a very difficult assignment, but it does encourage the students to participate in a listening activity completely in Spanish!  I collect their papers at the end and I do grade them for right/wrong answers and enter as a homework or participation grade.  It has been a great success!  

I try to make sure to add questions with fun and interesting trivia about my family.  For example, I am a twin and I had twins.  Also, both of my grandmothers had the same first name, Iva. (What are the odds of that?)
