Wooly Week – In February, our spanish learner website (Señor Wooly) released a new song called La Cancion Original. In class, we went over the vocabulary that is in the song. We did class discussions to learn the vocab instead of doing boring worksheets. We also played a game where we ran across the room and stuck our vocabulary words on the board that matched the sentences read aloud. The nuggets that we did on Señor Wooly helped us to learn new words by listening to songs. Overall, Wooly Week was a fun and different way to learn more Spanish.

Favorite part about Wooly Week – My favorite part about Wooly Week was that we had a new seating arrangement, and we didn’t do worksheets all class period. On paperwork, I only learn the vocabulary temporarily, but in class discussions where we repeat and apply the words over and over, I actually memorize and understand the target words.

Billy la Bufanda – Billy la Bufanda is another song on Señor Wooly. (and it is amazing!) Billy is a scarf that goes to a whole bunch of places and eventually falls in love with a pair of boots. Over spring break, our teacher sent us home with a picture of Billy. We were asked to do an activity called Flat Billy where we take pictures of Billy at different places. During the break, I took 10 pictures of Billy across town that were eventually put into a project. My project was a Google slideshow in which I explained six photos and what Billy liked about those particular places.
