Class can be overwhelming at times, especially when trying to learn a new language. I know for me learning Spanish, I am overwhelmed everyday with the amount of grammar points and vocabulary that is thrown in my head. I am positive my students feel the same way. I have been teaching my students why we use pronouns and all kinds of vocabulary such as clothing, colors, direction & location, family, and much more. I felt that my class needed a break so I decided to throw a Halloween party for my students. I incorporated a lot of what they have been learning in multiple activities. I was able to see a lot of their personalities come out; even my shy students had a blast! Take a look!

| The objective of this project was to create a Halloween monster. There were rules. The monster had to include a certain amount of color and clothing vocabulary as well as sentences using pronouns. The class then shared their monster to the class. |

| This was a fun group activity. It was to get the students to work together. They had 3 minutes to wrap a student in toilet paper to resemble a mummy. They had a great time! They said "teeaacchherr....can we do this again?" |

My class enjoys working together in groups the most. It not only helps them to have conversations in English with their peers but makes them feel more comfortable in the class as well. I am always sure to incorporate activities that involves every student. It is important to capture their interest before approaching your lesson, otherwise they will get nothing out of the class period. It is difficult to learn a new language. Therefore making learning engaging and fun will make the new language come more naturally.
Until next time...
