The purpose of this group is to expose students to and educate them about Spanish culture and language. Weekly topics have included food, animals, colors, numbers, mini-conversations, and holiday words. In addition, we are exploring some Spanish customs including dance, music, and celebrations. We hope to spark an interest in and appreciation for other cultures and foreign languages. This program targets students in grades K-3.
Students have the opportunity to take math bags home that are filled with games and activities.
These activites are related to the SOL math objectives. The bags are rotated amongst students in each classroom for a one-week time period. Each classroom teacher has six bags to utilize as a classroom extension activity. Fine Metals, a school business partner, donated the bags. Members in the Elmont Math Committee organized the games and activites.
