Fun and Easy A (ID)

             ¡Hola! ¿Puedes hablar español? You should learn to speak Spanish. I am right now and my teacher is Señora Garrucho. She is a really good teacher. She plays game, makes up stories, and you get to color. Spanish is really fun although I thought Spanish was going to be hard, it is really easy. Some of the main topics we have covered are parts of the body and the day of dead.

            Main parts of the body include head, face, eyes, arm, leg, knee, and etc. Some of the vocabulary for the body parts is the head is as la cabeza, the face is la cara, the mouth is la boca, and el hombre. When we were learning the body parts we played this game where the teacher would call out a body part and you would have to grab the body par and run it up to the teacher. There was to groups, one half of the room and the other. The body parts that she would call were head (la cabeza), arm (el brazo), leg (la pierna), finger (el dedo), foot (el pie), eyes (los ojos), and ear (la oreja). Señora Garrucho kept track of which team got the most points on the bored.  Most of us use the handouts that our teacher gives us to figure out which body part is which. The handout consists of a picture of the object and the Spanish word.

           The day of the dead in Mexico is a happy celebration. The people honor their dead with altars in their houses or decorated the person’s tomb. The altar usually has Mary gold’s, candles, fruit or bread or other kind of food, drinks, little skulls, and a picture of the person that died. The candles are to light the way for the spirits. The food and drinks are for the sprit to consume. There is many treats such as sugar skulls that people buy that time of the year. Sugar skulls are skulls made up of sugar and are usually decorated with colorful icing. You can also get little figurines of skeletons. People in Spain go to the church and pray. They find the dead of the dead more of a sad holiday. We went to some classes singing a skeleton song for the dead of the dead.

            Spanish is really fun and consist of games, coloring, and pictures. There are a few tests after you cover a section but they are very easy. If you pay attention you Ace this class and get one year of your language over. I would highly recommend taking Spanish. You have to roll your R’s though which can be hard.
