Birds

The kindergarten children will go to the zoo at the end of the month. We've been studying animals in the zoo. I made a special theme on birds since the zoo they are visiting have a lot of them!
I printed coloring pages on the following animals: flamingo, owl, swan, toucan, eagle and turkey. Used them as my flashcards and then have the children color them. in order to pick one, they have to say the bird in Spanish. It worked pretty good and the children still remember them after a couple of weeks. Here are the pictures:

Material findings!!

Hi all!
I am always in the search for new and exciting materials to practice Spanish with my children. I decided to post some of the stuff I found for you to take advantage. Feel free to share if you find something you think we all can use.
I just went to Michael's and here's what I found in the $1 bin.
Faces sticker book, has 282 stickers!!! great for parts of the face, also you can use it to create family puppets or feelings.
Numbers bingo, great for numbers practice and the kids love it!
And the best of all for a dollar each! Other good stores to try are the Dollar store, Walmart and the Target $1 bin. Good luck hunting!
