These winter-themed task cards feature scenarios for present, past and future time frames.  Google Slides can be modified if you need to change something to meet your students’ needs!

Do you struggle to present new vocabulary in a comprehensible way while staying completely in the target language? Then this fun PowerPoint™️ presentation is a great way to introduce or review tener idioms with your elementary or secondary class. There are 23 terms represented on individual slides (plus a title page and a terms of use page). Links to the Google Slides™️ version of the presentation are also included in this zipped file.

The terms represented include:

• tener que
• tener ganas de
• tener hambre
• tener la culpa
• tener vergüenza
• ...and more!

Each slide is animated so that the picture appears first, followed by the Spanish term. The presentation is almost completely free of English, but still very comprehensible, thanks to the great clip art. My students really enjoy when we use this as a review with whiteboards. Make sure to check out the preview for a complete list of terms. Please note that the terms in the presentation are NOT editable, although slides may be deleted or rearranged.

**Please note that the pictures in the animated slideshows are covered by white boxes that are animated to disappear when in presentation mode. When viewing the presentation in any mode other than “presentation mode”, it looks like there aren’t any pictures.**

Fun and engaging!

This Spanish Verb Tenses Project is perfect to review all the tenses students have learned! Spanish students will write sentences in the present, past and future related to themes that are familiar to them. The rubric will provide fast and specific feedback so students can fix any mistakes! Students can complete this verb tense project individually or in groups. Teachers may assign this as one big project or in smaller parts.

Though teachers can customize (and either add or reduce these tenses), students will create 5 slides, each with 6 sentences. The 6 sentences represent the 6 tenses students have learned so far (present, present progressive, preterite, imperfect, imperfect progressive and future). Students choose a theme for each slide, such as travel, summer, food, etc. They write sentences in each tense to practice 1) how to form each tense, 2) connecting the name of the tense with what it looks like and 3) what each verb tense means in English. Students can customize the design of each slide as well! Students can keep their completed project for future reference as they continue their language learning.

The rubric is designed for teachers to tell students which slide and which tenses on each slide are correct or have an error to make feedback fast and specific!

Who can use this product:

• Students at the Novice High proficiency level and up
• Students at the end of Year 1 and up

How to use this product:

• Use this activity individually or as group or partner work
• Assign this activity as a practice or as an assessment for a grade
• Assign this activity in parts or as one bigger project
• Customize the tenses that you want students to use

What is included:

• Teacher instructions
• Student instructions
• Slide layouts for student work

It's Back To School Time! How can you get parents, guardians and families involved in your Spanish class?  Use these templates to communicate with parents at the beginning of the year!  These digital or printable Google Docs are just waiting for your personal touch and details!  Start the new year with high parent engagement!

The first doc is a letter for families which introduces their child’s new Spanish teacher (you!) and asks parents to tell you about their child. **Parents love to tell you about their kids and being asked let’s them know right away that you care!

The second doc is a similar letter, but tailored for the parents/guardians of AP Spanish students.

The 3rd doc is a request for guest speakers.  Why not let our families know how much their life experience is valued?  Send this letter to find out if there are any family members, friends or colleagues that use Spanish in their lives!  **This document is part of my Spanish Back to School Survival Pack for Middle and High School bundle!!**

The 4th doc is a hand-out to give parents, perhaps at Open House Night?  It lists several ways in which parents can help their child succeed in Spanish class, even if they don’t know Spanish.  It’s a great way to empower parents and to give them actionable strategies to be involved with their child’s learning on a regular basis. 

The last doc is a study guide template.  I send this via email about a week before an important assessment.  It’s a great way to keep families in the loop as we encourage them to be involved in their child’s Spanish education!

All of these documents are almost ready to send out!  You can edit and personalize all of them, and they can be printed out or emailed home.  Start your school year with strong partnerships and high parent involvement!

Who can use this product?

• Teachers of Secondary Spanish (Year 1 through AP Spanish)

How can I use this product?

• Personalize the documents to suit your needs
• Engage families by mailing, handing out at Open House night, emailing or asking students to bring documents home to families

What’s included in this product?

• 1 letter for parents/guardians of Spanish students (not in AP Level)
• 1 letter for parents/guardians of AP Spanish students
• 1 letter to request guest speakers
• 1 handout for parents listing ways they can help their children with Spanish
• 1 study guide template that can be emailed to parents/guardians

Reflexive Verbs Interactive Slides Spanish 1-3

UNIQUE

FUN

ENGAGING

Multiple ways to practice and test Reflexive verbs!!!

Need a FAST way to formatively assess your Spanish students?  This Minuto loco (Mad Minute) Spanish conjugating activity can be digital or print, but it’s a tried and true method to conjugating with speed and accuracy.  Students seem to really focus and work intently when we give them a time limit.  It reminds them of memorizing their math facts when they were in elementary school, and in a way, memorizing endings for verbs is no different!  But turning the important skill of conjugating into a short and fun game is very motivating for students.

The best thing about this resource is that it is ready to go, for any level, for any verb tense! You can use this resource over and over again in each class, and every school year!  It is so easy to tailor to your curriculum, vocabulary or grammar!  Having everything you need in one place is such a time saver, and all the irregulars of particular tenses are worked in!  Students love this, and enjoy tracking their progress over time!

Who can use this product?

• Students at any level of Spanish

How can I use this product?

• Print or digitally assign a page 
• Use as a warm up, a class activity, a homework assignment or even a quiz!
• Time students (1-2 minutes), and correct in class.  Use a copy of the same sheet for several classes to track improvement in speed and accuracy!

What’s included in this product?

• 1 page of Teacher Notes with suggestions for many ways to use this resource

• 10 different conjugating sheets that focus on the following kinds of verbs:

• Regular verbs (ar, er, ir)

• Irregular preterite verbs

This product contains a 3-part activity to practice writing, speaking and listening for any level of Spanish!  Use these Google activities for distance learning or for students who are in person. Increase motivation and proficiency on the ACTFL scale with this digital activity!

First, students write a short story about a picture related to the unit theme.  They follow a small list of requirements that are fully customizable.  (This activity is written to ask students to use the future tense, but with a few key strokes, this activity can be changed to any tense!)

Next, students will record their story using a recording website.  My students use vocaroo.com.  They will link their recording in a chart.  (There is a sample class chart included in the instructions.)  Students will also create comprehension questions for their story and list them in their chart.

Last, students will listen to a classmate’s recording and answer the accompanying questions. They can use the included peer feedback sheet to offer constructive comments on specific elements of the recording!

I used this during 3 time periods: the writing was done in class, the recording was done for homework, and the listening was done in the next class.  Teachers with block classes could use this activity in one class.

• Students at the Novice level and up

It's the end of a unit or the day before vacation.... what would be FUN and motivating to students?  Learning slang!  This Youtube video and accompanying Google Doc and Edpuzzle  viewing guides will help students sound more natural with their speech.  This video teaches slang from PUERTO RICO, but check out my other products for slang from other countries!

Students can view the video and write down answers in open-ended form, or they can watch the video in an EdPuzzle and answer the multiple choice questions.  (Auto-graded, by the way!)  The questions in this activity are written in Spanish, but the language level is basic and should be accessible to students from Novice High and up.  The video itself presents Spanish slang terms with explanations in English.

**Disclaimer: There is one expression in the video that is not so nice... "Come mierda" which they present to mean that someone is a snob. **I cut it out of the Edpuzzle, but I cannot edit the YouTube video.****

How can I use this product?

• Assign this activity in class or for homework
• Get students excited to learn "real" Spanish!

• Combine this with other activities to create a mini unit!

What's included in this product?

• 1 link to a curated YouTube video (**please read disclaimer above about the 1 bad word in YouTube video!)
