Spanish in the classroom

Upon request of a student, I have decided to start sharing my Spanish language learning with my English classes.  Each day, I am going to teach them a phrase or two in Spanish.  As 6th graders, they do not yet have the opportunity to take a language.  Next year, students will be able to choose between Spanish and French.  Today, I taught them a basic introduction:

Hola!  Me llamo _________.  Como te llamas?  which means "Hello!  My name is __________.  What is your name?"

The students are excited to learn more Spanish phrases.  

Speaking of learning more Spanish, I have made it through 25 episodes over the last week of a podcast called "Discover Spanish."  For anyone interested in learning the language, it's a great resource.  I am learning a lot of useful phrases that will help me get acquainted with my host family and the students at the school when I arrive in Honduras.  It's hard to believe that in less than 12 weeks, I will be immersed in a new culture!

Buenos noches!
