◈ CAN YOU IMAGINE A BETTER SIGHT than a room full of happy students who are completely engaged in their Spanish Lesson? With this Practiquemos En Espanol: Animales & Naturaleza (Let's Practice Our Spanish: Animals & Nature) PowerPoint program for Elementary and Middle School, your class will learn vocabulary and enjoy doing it.

HAVE YOU NOTICED how kids' minds begin to wander and lose focus when the topic isn’t interesting?  Let’s face it, vocabulary isn’t the most exciting activity, but, since it’s the foundation of any foreign language, it’s an essential part of it.  Your students will learn SPANISH names for these ANIMALS and THINGS in NATURE: cabra-goat, cerdo-pig, gallina-chicken, venado-deer, or arroyo-stream, lago-lake, invierno-winter, and more.

WITH THIS 82 SLIDE POWERPOINT presentation, your students will love practicing their SPANISH, they can work alone, or in groups, and since it is SELF-CORRECTING, you don’t have to worry about wrong answers. The program will not go forward until the RIGHT answer is chosen.

MOTIVATION IS THE KEY Filling your lessons with activities that your class will truly enjoy will make their association with Spanish a positive one that keeps them coming back for more.

Imagine how nice it’ll be to concentrate more on teaching and less on planning.

Personally, for me, one good way to reinforce concepts is through colorful and engaging games. I remember being in 6 or 7th grade just watching the clock, waiting for class to end. Time was going so slowly, the lesson was boring, and the teacher just talked on, oblivious to our lack of interest.  I vowed that when I became a teacher, I would do everything in my power to make learning fun so that kids would want to be there.  I’m certain you feel the same.
