Student Reflection

Este es un ejemplo del tipo de libros que hemos leído. Se llama Pedro El Valiente y es sobre un chico llamado Pedro y cómo engañó a un lobo de comer él y sus amigos!
by Matt Campion

 Durante nuestras sesiones de la hora con los niños, también nos concentramos en leer. El programa SOAR usa una actividad específica para ayudar a niños a practicar su lectura. Ahora, el sistema es similar, pero también tiene diferencias. En primer lugar, [mi alumno] tiene un compañero de lectura y su nombre es [X]. X también tiene un tutor con quien trabaja. X ha sido designado como el 'primer' lector así empieza. Lee durante dos minutos y mi alumno hace marcas en una hoja para cada oración completa y página. Mi alumno empieza el mismo libro y lee durante dos minutos. Xhace marcas en la misma hoja. El objetivo es llegar a 500 puntos para que cada lector pueda obtener un premio de la caja del tesoro. A veces mi alumno llega más lejos que X en lectura, pero a veces no lo hace. Después de que han leído Xy mi alumno, les pregunto sobre lo que han leido. Esto es para determinar la comprensión y el entendimiento. Finalmente, para la última actividad, X y mi alumno hace un resumen de lo que han leido en diez palabras. Entonces consiguen un punto para cada palabra que usan hasta diez. Cada semana, los niños reciben un nuevo libro. A veces lo han leído antes y otras veces no. Los libros son cortos, con la intencion de ser leídos en una semana. Cubren todo tipo de contenido, desde hechos científicos hasta cuentos clásicos infantiles. Las historias son divertidas, y los niños disfrutan leyéndolas

Vocabulary for Parent-Teacher Conferences

Image
I'm very happy that so many students responded to our community partner's need for help. Our students' language skills will help Central High School's Latino parents better communicate with the teachers during the parent-teacher conferences next week. Central's secretary will contact the students directly to schedule times with them. Here is some vocabulary help for students. Materias. School subjects are "materias" NOT "sujetos." You should remember subjects from your intro Spanish courses, but here are some reminders: historia, matemáticas, inglés, física, química, biología, educación física, etc. General vocabulary. Notas = grades; aprobar = to pass; suspender = to fail; conducta, comportamiento = behavior. Topics. Ms. Citraro offers the following advice: "The topics and vocabulary that would come up are about the subjects at school. For example: no ha entregado las tareas tiene que tomar el examen otra vez habla mucho en clase falta muc...

How to Correctly File Hispanic Names

Image
I know that community-based learning students don't like it when they are asked to file during their time in the community. However, their learning goals are to improve their Spanish and knowledge of Latino cultures. Filing information on clients with Hispanic names helps them with both. And imagine the impact of mis-filing for the organizations where our students work and and their clients. That's why I was unhappy to learn that many SPAN 232 students did not do well on their exam section asking them to put some Hispanic names in alphabetical order. I can imagine that some students feel that putting names into alphabetical order isn't important. It is! It is especially important in the organizations where they work because they are dealing with clients who may not have "accommodated" to the American system of using only one last name. And it is especially important for clients whose papers are so important for their legal status, medical information and oth...

Interview with Jessica Horn of ACCIÓN Chicago

Image
By Carolyn Kloecker , Span 232 student This past week I completed an assignment for my Business Communications class (SPCM 211) which was to interview someone in a field that I am interested in working for in the future. I asked her many questions about the organization, and lots of information can be found on their website www.accionchicago.org . This organization is a Community Partner with Spanish & Illinois, and has an extensive connection with the Spanish-speaking community in the Chicagoland area. Here are a few of the questions and answers from Jessica: Is ACCIÓN a fairly new organization? How did it begin? ACCIÓN Chicago started in 1994, but the parent organization, ACCIÓN was started in 1961. It is the largest micro-lending organization, and it began in Venezuela, and took root in the U.S. in 1991. How do loan officers communicate with clients? Mostly by phone, as people call in to the office to get a loan for their small business. The website is also a main form o...
