Look what we are doing in 5th Grade Spanish!
After describing Spanish speaking countries, we began talking about our own nationalities and countries of origin. We learned how to ask and answer questions about our own birth place and the birth place of our friends and relatives.
We even learned how to describe the birth place of some famous Spanish speakers.

Students discovered the difference between saying
what a country has, where a country is, and what a country's size or shape is.
After making those discoveries, they picked a country, described the country's size/shape, location and features in a digital project!
The digital projects were printed and hung up for all to see!

After learning the names of the 21 Spanish-speaking countries, we located them on a map and described their location to each other.
We used the cardinal points (North, South, East, & West):
1) to write sentences about a country's location
2) to describe a mystery country's location to our friends
3) to assemble a map of South and Central America using only Spanish descriptions.

In the beginning of September, we began our first unit by brainstorming how many official Spanish-speaking countries exist in the world.
Students worked in groups and were able to name 13 Spanish-speaking countries.
But to their surprise, we learned that their are 21 official Spanish-speaking countries in the world.
Can you name the 21 official Spanish-speaking countries of the world?
