7th Grade Students teach Spanish to the 10th Agers
Sra. Sachar's seventh grade students created lessons using the pet/animal/family & question words vocabulary that Sra. Duncan's Lower School 10th Age students were learning. They started their lessons by reviewing vocabulary and basic questions about themselves. Then, they taught the 10th Age chicos how to find out more information about the number of pets/family someone has; and how to use questions words to create new questions. It was a great learning experience for all. Please enjoy the slideshow below.

5th Graders Teach 6th Agers
Collaborative Lessons Between Fifth Grade & Sixth Age Are Fun for All!
Yesterday, Sra. Menefee's fifth grade Spanish class traveled to the lower school to work with Sra. Duncan's 6-C Spanish class. (Coincidentally, the fifth grade students were Sra. Duncan's first Sixth Age class at Calvert! She taught them the color song, Los colores by Susy Dorn, five years ago and they STILL love to sing it.) We started off the class greeting each other. 6-C sang their greeting songs and some of the fifth graders sang along. Then, they all sang Los colores together (see the video below). Next, the fifth grade buddies played games to reinforce the color words that the students in 6-C have been learning. After a playing for a bit, the students in 6-C told the fifth grade students about the key features of Spanish artist Joan Miró's work. Together, they completed a color by numbers version of Miró's People and Dog in the Sun. What a fun class! Enjoy the video and slide shows below.
