1. COUNT THE DAYS IN APRIL: 5 minutes
Supply Needed: Download and print off the April calendar
It's time to turn yourself and your students into counting champs! Grab the calendar, hit play on the audio, and dive into counting from 1 to 30 together in Spanish! Let a student be the teacher and point to the numbers as you chant them! After carrying out this activity, you can begin to count in English and Spanish everyday during calendar time!
2. wash your hands: 10 minutes
Supply Needed: Download and print off the "Wash Your Hands" poster
We wash our hands multiple times a day, don't we? Here's a fun idea – you and your students can sing about handwashing in Spanish. Be sure and act out each verse with your hands. Pretend to wash your hands, turn off the water and dry your hands as you saw in video lesson. You and your students will be much more engaged in this activity if you use your act it out while singing!
Be sure to download and print the "Wash Your Hands" poster. Display copies next to all the sinks in your classroom. Then, play the song and practice singing along with and acting out the tune! (My students love when I let them choose if they want to listen to the mom sing the song first, or the dad. Empower your students by taking a vote and letting them decide who you will listen to first.)

3. Coloring Sheet: 10 MINUTES
Supply Needed: Download and print off the "Wash Your Hands" poster
Kids get a kick out of "teacher made" coloring sheets. Yes, I drew the picture below :-) I like to create professional coloring sheets and mix in my own drawings from time to time too. Print enough copies of the coloring sheet for your class. As your students color, have the song playing in the background. Remember, when it comes to learning a new language, repetition is crucial. By replaying the songs several times, both you and your students will commit the lyrics to memory and make progress in mastering the Spanish language.
Share Your Wins!
Every time we get your WINS AND SUCCESSES in our inbox, we can’t help but do a little happy dance — to "Don't Stop Believing" or "La Bamba" of course! Why? Because success doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Your wins are our wins, and they’re proof for others that when you do the work, you get results.
Whether your students are finally beginning to repeat or sing in Spanish along with the online videos, or say random words in Spanish throughout the day, or teachers are feeling more confident carrying out the follow-up activities, or parents are sharing that their child is saying words in Spanish at home — we want to hear your wins BIG and small!
Celebrating you always,
Theresa & Team HOLA
