A proud moment. I asked our language explorers what this animal is in Spanish, and one blurted out PAVO (turkey)!
The animal is not a pavo but a CONEJO (bunny).
So why was I proud?
Because this wasn't a random guess. The student recalled from a previous class project of building "running pavos".
With the language tools the young learner had, they put an animal word to the picture. This is a glimpse showing that little by little these kids are building an internal Spanish language system. They are making connections, taking risks, and using what they know to participate in second language communication. Next step: learn more animal words!
