This experience went really well. It went by very, very fast did a quick introduction to the ocean. With the kids talked about each other's favorite animals favor ocean animals and then talked about the different ocean, ocean sones, Talked about what, how we thought each animal. So, in each sewn, with access to light that they had, then, they talked about different ways, animals, communicated, and everyone was obsessed with the whales. And we talked about, I go caishen how well, do you see some sound to communicate? And then they played a whale catching game where students, kind of Whale sounds and try to find each other kind of like a different take on tag. After that, they did an arts-and-crafts, they did crystallized art with salt and glue and then we had to wrap up. Do a quick little reflection and finish pretty quick.

This experience went really well. It kind of flew by students perspective like a quick little introduction to the ocean kind of favorite animals, introducing each other and then we talked about the different zones in the ocean and how they thought animals communicated in the ocean, we talked about how animals can see in the ocean and we talked about Echolocation then we played a whale catching game.

I think the cost went well I think at this point in the school year the students know me really well they know kind of my classroom management strategies and we work well together. They feel like they trust me and they're having fun in the classes.

In this class students, practice emotion words in Spanish, they practice responding to basic greetings, and also, practice asking Central questions, such as can I may, I and can go to the bathroom. Students did gross motor activity and also some written word for practice.

Classmate gray, a lot of the students for students I had worked with before so they were familiar with me was also familiar with the school and they're set up for after-school enrichment which made things a lot easier. The students were lovely and it was great to have the school staff available in case anything happened. I felt very supported from the school.

In this class students, practice, basic, greetings and shapes. And it was a very brief introduction into what we will be doing in Spanish. We sang a Spanish nursery. Rhyme together and students made a Mexican mirror using paper plates, aluminum foil and drawing shapes and coloring them around the around their place.
