¡Bienvenidos, NUEVOS AMIGOS!
Due to the great interest and motivation in introducing the Spanish language at the
first grade level, we have designed a developmentally age appropriate program to
meet your needs. The NUEVOS AMIGOS distance learning program incorporates
games, songs, puppets, culture and arts and crafts lessons for second language
learners.
About the Authors:
Five elementary teachers with varied backgrounds and proficiency in Spanish have
collaborated in writing the curriculum for Nuevos Amigos. Let’s meet them!
Mrs. Rebecca García-Arango
Elementary Spanish as a Second Language Teacher
Dallas Independent School District
Quote: “A person who speaks a second language is as valuable as two people;”
in Spanish, “Quien sabe dos lenguas vale por dos.”
Ms. Karen Casey
Second Grade Bilingual Teacher
Quote: “After learning Spanish and realizing the value of bilingualism, I now
enjoy teaching young children both in English and Spanish, so they can be
successful.”
Mrs. Evelyn Duarte. Walraven
Dean of Montessori School

Teaching a World Language in First Grade
Communication: Communication skills are the primary focus of language. Studies
have shown that the window of opportunity for learning a second language must take
place before the age of ten. (Jacqueline Thomas, Professor of Languages at Texas
A&M, 1996)
Cultures: Students learn about and experience other cultures as an integral
part of studying languages other than English. Children who have studied a world
language develop a sense of cultural pluralism (openness to and appreciation of
other cultures). (Lipton, page 36) Because language acquisition is an
important element in the learning development of the first grade student,
culture plays a vital role. Through art, music, dance , drama, poetry and
literature, second language acquisition can be easily developed. (LOTE, page 46)
Comparisons: A natural result of learning another language is the comparison of
the language being learned with the native language. Children who have studied a
world language show greater cognitive development in such areas as mental
flexibility, creativity, divergent thinking and higher order thinking skills. (Lipton,
page 36)
Connections: Knowledge of other languages and cultures provides the tools and
context for connecting with other subject areas including the arts, health, social
studies, sciences, mathematics and English. Because linguistic development takes
place simultaneously in the early elementary grades, connections to the learning of
basic concepts are readilly acquired. (LOTE, page 52) It has also been shown that
children who have studied a world language in the elementary school achieve
expected gains and even higher scores on standardized tests in reading, language
arts and mathematics. ( Lipton, page 36)
Communities: Learning languages other than English increases opportunities for
participation in communities in Texas, in other states and around the world.
Students use languages to enhance their personal and public lives and to meet the
career demands of the 21st century. (LOTE, page 66)

Agency, 1997) and (Gladys C. Lipton, Elementary Foreign Language Programs

The Goals of NUEVOS AMIGOS
By the end of the school year, the children will be able to –
Communication
• Develop listening and speaking skills to become
proficient in a second language.
• Understand basic vocabulary and Spanish expressions that are
necessary for everyday communication.
• Respond to simple questions and commands.
Students sing songs and play games in Spanish to practice the
language.
Cultures
•
Explore the cultural diversity and similarity within the
Spanish-speaking countries and the United States.
Students compare how Independence Day is celebrated in the
United States and Mexico.
Connections
•
Use the language to provide the tools and context for
connecting with other subject areas including arts, health, social
studies, sciences, mathematics and English.
The science connection is made when the students learn the
names of the forest animals in Spanish.
Comparisons
•
Demonstrate an understanding of the influence of one
language and culture on another.
Students compare how they greet each other in English to the
way they greet each other in Spanish.
Communities
•
Use the language both within and beyond the school
setting through activities such as participating in cultural
events.
The distance learning teacher visits the classrooms to provide
student exposure to a native language speaker.

Program Design
The program is divided into two units based on the stories “Little Red Riding Hood”
in Unit 1 and “Jack and the Beanstalk” in Unit 2. Each unit consists of a review and
an assessment. There is also a theme to every lesson with a new verb being
introduced. A cultural lesson and arts and crafts activity is also included in every
lesson.
What is Distance Learning?
• Distance - teacher and student are separated by distance.
• Learning - knowledge is gained through the use of technology.
• Technology bridges the distance - carries the message.
Video Viewing Strategies
In order for this program to be successful, the following procedures are
suggested:
* Teachers are responsible for previewing and playing the lessons.
* Each lesson is to be viewed two times per week.
* It is suggested that one teacher/facilitator from each school be designated as
the coordinator of the program.
* Set a time for “Spanish only” and reflect it in your daily schedule.
* Encourage students to share the Spanish vocabulary with parents.
* Bring in songs, books and community resources.
* Repetition of vocabulary learned is to be used.
* Having fun and a good attitude makes a difference in the learning performance of
the students.
* Administer the assessments.

Heritage Speakers
Students whose native language is Spanish can definitely enhance the program by
providing many assets such as:
•
Provide assistance in the pronunciation of Spanish words and share their
knowledge of other words that are used in their country of origin.
Example: La pluma for a ballpoint pen in Mexico is also called el bolígrafo or el
boli in Spain and in some of the Spanish-speaking countries.
•
Also, if speakers of Spanish question the usage or pronunciation of a word or
expression, tell them that they are fortunate to now know two ways of saying
the same thing. Example: The color café for brown is also called marrón, and
the color anaranjado for orange is also known as naranja.
Heritage Speakers of languages other than Spanish can also offer
enriching opportunities to talk about their native language, cultural
customs and traditions.
Spanish Fiesta
Take this opportunity to prepare a performance for family and friends. What a
better way to exhibit what the students have learned than to have them perform
the songs! Students may perform on the school stage and later have refreshments
in their classroom to show off their class work.
Here’s an example of an invitation:
¡Bienvenidos a la fiesta de (Name of Class)!
Come and join our fiesta! Watch us sing our songs in Spanish!

Instructions for Assessments for Unit 1 and 2
As students acquire a second language, assessment and evaluation serve as an
important tool in maintaining students’ enthusiasm for language learning.
Oral Language Assessment – The goal of the Spanish program is to develop oral
language communications skills in a second language. Therefore, the different
manners to test the various levels of language learning can incorporate the informal
and formal types of assessments.
Types of Assessment: Informal and Formal Assessments
Informal Assessments – These exams can be spontaneous and may be administered
without reflecting a score result. It may be as simple as taking note as to how two
students are using the newly acquired Spanish vocabulary or looking at the drawings
and writings in a student’s Spanish Journal.
Formal Language Assessments – It is necessary to give formal assessments, but
they are not to be given as to create anxiety in the students. Create an
atmosphere in which the students see formal testing as something between you and
them. Use this assessment as a tool for helping the learner.
Formal Assessments – Use the Unit I and Unit 2 Assessments to measure the basic
vocabulary after viewing the lessons within each unit.
Assessment Strategies:
* Group Assessment – Observe and monitor activity while the group is performing a
song, poem or game.
* Porfolio Assessment - Create portfolios of written work and projects, and you
may even take pictures of the Group Assessment. Observe and monitor activity
while the group is performing a song, poem or game.
* Peer Assessment – Many of the activities are designed for pair and group work.
By playing games together and singing songs, students can practice the language
with each other. Use the Rubric for Holistic Assessment and Vocabulary Chart to
record students’ responses.

For Your
Information:
The verb gustar
corresponds in
meaning, but not in
grammatical
structure, to the
English verb “to
like.” In English,
the person who
likes something is
the subject of the
verb, whereas the
thing liked is
the direct object.
In Spanish,
however, the person
who likes something
is the indirect
object of the verb
gustar, while what
is liked is its
subject. Gustar is
closer in structure
to the English
expression “to be
pleasing” than to
the verb “to like.”

4. oler – to smell

La cultura: We will learn about the animal masks made
by the native people of Mexico. Why did the people of Mexico
wear masks? Do you know? A long time ago, native Mexicans
believed that if you wore a mask, the mask had magic to change
you into whatever the face of the mask was. For example: The
armadillo’s mask is made of wood from the state of Guerrero.
You can find armadillos in Mexico. Actually, the word armadillo
is a Spanish word that means “having arms like a protective
covering.” Notice the hard shell.
By the way, armadillos were first found in South America.
This cute armadillo mask has eyeholes next to the rabbit-looking ears. The feet are rather large, as the armadillo is known
for being a very good digger. The mask is actually used for the
Rabbit Dance in the state of Guerrero, and every villager performs the part of the armadillo dance differently.
Don’t forget: Learning about other cultures helps you to
Artesanía:
Make a magical mask.
Here are the steps:
Step 2: Gently mark the position of your eyes and nose on a
paper plate. Then, cut out circles for your eyes and a triangle for your nose.
Step 3: Make and glue your nose base.
Step 4: Color or paint the mask and let it dry.
Step 5: Cut out a nose shape from construction paper and
glue it to the base.
Step 6: Cut ears from construction paper and glue in place.
Step 7: Paint or glue on eyes and a mouth cut from construction paper.
Step 8: Hats cut from construction paper will add personality to your character.
Step 9: For wearing, cut a strip from a nylon stocking and
staple or glue the ends to the inside of your mask at eye
level.
Now, you can display your own magical mask creation. Join

La cultura: Talk about the origin of the chocolate drink. The
chocolate drink is a gift to the world from Mexico and Central
America. The word comes from the Nahuatl language, in which
xoco-atl means “bitter water” and cacahuatl-atl means “cacao
water.”
1st Grade

Chocolate was first used by the Aztecs in México. Did you
know that the Aztecs in México drank cold chocolate? They
did, and they added flavors like chile, vanilla, black pepper,
honey, flowers and cinnamon. Only the elite and royalty drank
it. Moctezuma, the last Aztec emperor, was known to have a
chocolate drink after a meal.

The word chocolate comes from Nahautl language of the Aztecs xoco-atl (chocoatl) meaning “bitter water.” Atl means
water and choco is the sound that the liquid makes when it is
beaten with the chocolate beater called a molinillo. The chocolate comes from the cacao bean. This bean was also used as
money by the Aztec people and used to prepare different
foods.
The famous Spanish conqueror or conquistador, Hernán Cortéz,
brought the cacao seed to Spain where it became very popular
among the kings. Spain is where they added sugar and other
ingredients. But, it was a woman from Guatemala, who was the
first to make the chocolate in round slabs or discs in order for
it to last longer.
A few of the products that are made from chocolate are:
choco-milk, chocolate cookies, chocolate cake and chocolate
kisses.
Don’t forget: Learning about other cultures helps you to better
understand the world we live in.
Artesanía: Make Mexican hot chocolate.
Break up one disc into the milk in an electric frying pan or
other heating device. A pot on a stove works well, if available.
Boil the milk and mix. Cool while mixing. Bring again to a full
boil. Cool once more. Then for the third time, bring the
chocolate drink to a boil. Beat and serve.
Mexicans like to drink their chocolate with a molinillo, a wooden
beater made specifically for chocolate preparation.

La cultura: Learn about the brief history of piñatas.
The History of Piñatas
The piñata is part of Mexican tradition, and it is used at all
celebrations or fiestas. Who would have ever thought that
the piñata originally came from Italy over 400 years ago. During
the 16th century, Italy was in the Renaissance. They liked to
play games, and one of the games was putting a blindfold on
someone, and then they would hang a clay pot in front of them.
They would try to break the pot with a stick. The pot was
called a pignatta which meant cone-shaped.
In Spain, the piñata was saved for the first Sunday of Lent as
“Piñata Sunday.” The people had a masquerade ball where
they danced the flamenco, the bolero, or the zarabanda. The
ball was called the “Dance of the Piñata.” During the dance, the
piñata was broken.
The Spanish started decorating the olla or pot to make it look
more attractive. There is no exact date when the piñata came
to Mexico; however, it is felt that it came over with the early
settlers in New Spain. The main difference in customs is that
it is an Easter tradition in Spain, and in Mexico, it is more
popular at Christmas.

Artesanía: Make a star piñata.
Inflate a balloon to 11" and tie. Pour your starch into a bowl.
Apply four layers of newspaper strips which have been dipped
in starch or paste. Leave a 3" x 3" uncovered area near stem
end for piñata opening. Allow form to dry and deflate balloon.
Attach harness by tying a rope securely around the fullest
part of the form. Use masking tape to secure rope. Be sure
to leave loop at end of harness, near piñata opening, so that
the suspension rope may be tied to it. Decorate piñata by
applying tissue. Now remember, a piñata can be made into
different shapes, sizes and colors.
Let’s review the steps.
Step 2: Inflate balloon and tie.
Step 3: Apply newspaper strips to balloon, but leave an uncovered area for piñata opening. Make four layers and make sure
it dries each time.
Step 4: Allow form to dry and deflate balloon.
Step 5: Attach the harness by tying rope securely around the
fullest part of the form. Use masking tape to secure rope.
Step 6: Decorate piñata.
Step 7: Let the piñata dry one more time.
Step 8: Once completely dry, fill with candy, nuts, fruits, and
you can also put money in it! Piñatas are filled with surprises.
You can save the piñata for birthdays in your classroom or any
other special days that you may want to celebrate. Just
remember to GET OUT OF THE WAY when the piñata breaks!

Show these countries on a map. The Mayan world covered
the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras
and Belize. Chichén Itzá is in the shape of a triangle. The
way that the Mayans made this step pyramid was by first
making the foundation or the bottom first which is the base
and in the shape of a square. The base of the pyramid is the
widest, and each layer of the pyramid gets narrower. Each
layer is a square that gets smaller and smaller. They also
made steps so that they could climb to the top. At the very
top, there is a square structure, or level. That is where the
Mayans could look up at the sky and read the stars.

La cultura:
The Spaniards traveled to what they called the New World
by ships. It took them a long time to cross the Atlantic
Ocean. Then one day, they landed on México, so México
became part of Spain. The Spaniards spoke Spanish and in
every country that they settled in they brought their language. There are over 20 countries in the world that speak
Spanish. That’s how many countries the Spanish conquistadores landed on and took control of for the King and
Queen of Spain. Every time they landed in a new country,
the Spaniards would take the Spanish flag and bury it into
the sand saying: “I conquer this land for the king and queen
of Spain.”
Artesanía:
Make a Spanish flag. Measure the construction paper. The
flag will be 8.5" x 11.” The red construction paper will be
the two stripes and measurement will be 2.5" (Height) x
11"(Wide). Then make sure you have a full sheet of the
yellow construction paper that is 8.5" x 11.” Make the measurements on the red paper and cut the stripes. Now, take
the white construction paper and mark it to be 3" (high) x 3"
(wide). Draw the crest on the white construction paper and
cut the box out. Now glue the red stripes onto the yellow
construction paper together. Then you glue the white construction paper with the drawing onto the yellow. Remember that the crest is not at the center, it is off to the left.
Now, let it dry. Once the flag is completely dry, you display
it on your classroom wall for everyone to see.
Let’s review the steps to make a Spanish flag:
Step 2: Measure the red construction paper and cut.
Step 3: Measure the white construction paper; then draw
the crest then cut.
Step 4: Glue the red stripes onto the yellow construction
paper.
Step 5: Glue the white construction paper onto the yellow,
on the left side.

ready?” Toro answers, “No, I must put on my (Spanish name
for an article of clothing)!” Children call again and Toro
says, “No, I must put on my (another piece of clothing).”
Each time, Toro must do the motions of putting on the article
of clothing he/she is saying. Suddenly, he says, “Here I
come!” Children run to the safety area (a place that is chosen
before the game begins) before Toro can tag them. When a
child is tagged, he/she becomes Toro. Write the names of
clothing on the board if played in the class or help the child
with names if he/she needs help.

The Aztec calendar is also called the “Sun Stone.” It’s a calendar representing a year made up of 260 days. Now, our
calendar is made up of 365 days. The Aztec Calendar’s week
consisted of 13 days, which is very different from our calendar’s
week of 7 days. The stone weighs almost 25 tons. This stone
was discovered buried in the ground on December 17, 1760.
It was discovered buried in the Zócalo, or the main square of
Mexico City. The Aztec calendar is now displayed in the National Museum of Archaeology and History in Mexico City.
Artesanía: Make an Aztec necklace.
Directions:
Step 1: Trace one 10 inch and one 5 inch circle of
cardboard and cut out.
Step 2: Cut out four cardborad bars approximately 3
inches long (sun rays).
Step 3: Glue the smaller circle at the center of the larger
circle. Also, glue the four sun rays onto the larger circle,
dividing it into four parts. If your bars are too long, you
may need to trim them a little bit after they have been
glued.
Step 4: Outline the larger circle by gluing black yarn
around it.
Step 5: Cut eyes, nose and mouth out of cardboard.
Step 6: Glue eyes, nose and mouth onto the smaller circle.
Step 7: It is possible to use some of the designs from the
Aztec calendar. Trace a design onto the cardboard by
gluing black yarn and drawing any design that you want with
crayons and felt tip pens.
Step 8: Puch a hole at the top and insert enough yarn and
tie a knot so that you can wear it as a necklace.

La cultura hispana: Rain forests are found in South America
within the countries of Chile, Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil.
You can find many animals living there that are not found in
any other part of the world.
A palo de lluvia or rain stick is supposed to sound like the rain
heard within the forests. These sticks are used in ceremonies
to bring rain when it hasn’t rained for many days.
Rain sticks are made from the skeletons of a Quisco or Copado
cactus. There are lots of these cactus in the Atacama desert
of Northern Chile. The Capado cactus lives to be 60 to 70
years old. When they die and dry out they become the wood
skeleton which is called the normata. The native people
harvest the normata, hollow it out and fill it with small volcanic
ash pebbles. Then, small nails are driven through the trunk in a
spiral formation creating the unique sound of water as the
pebbles fall slowly when the cactus is turned upside down.

A mola is a colorful design made of several layers of brightly
colored cotton cloth.
Mola designs are often inspired by modern graphics such as
pictures from books and TV cartoons, as well as traditional
themes from Kuna legends and culture. Geometric molas are
the most traditional, having developed from ancient body
painting designs. Many hours of careful sewing are required
to create a fine mola.

classes at a very young age and then went to Europe to study
art in Spain, France and Italy. When he returned to Mexico in
1921, he was also a leader in the government sponsored Painter’s
Syndicate. He developed his own technique for painting large
surfaces and was in great demand both in Mexico and the
United States. Orozoco and Siquieros were also considered
Mexican “masters”, and all three were fondly referred to as
los grandes.

La cultura hispana: What is a raspa? A raspa (or sometimes
also called a raspado) is the name for snowcone in Spanish.
The reason it is called a raspa or a raspado is because the ice
is scraped. Before electric ice crushers were created, people
used to scrape or raspar the ice. So the name for snowcone
became a raspa.
Materials:

for tips on making

In Texas and the nothern part of Mexico, we call a snowcone
a raspa. Remember that Texas was once part of Mexico. But
in other parts of the Spanish speaking countries, it is called a
raspado.
There are a lot of raspa stands and restaurants in Central
America that serve raspas. Sometimes there are a whole bunch
of stands in a row with lots of different favors, and they can
make a raspa any way you want.
Don’t forget, learning about other cultures helps you to better
understand the world we live in.

La cultura hispana: Talk about the origin of the mariachi
group. The word mariachi is most often used in reference to
the tradional musical ensemble common to Jalisco, Mexico,
and its neighboring states. The exact origin of the word
mariachi is lost in time, but its roots are most certainly Mexican
and come from one of the native dialects. There is a popular,
but mistaken myth that the word “marraige” is derived from
French and came into being during the French intervention of
1862-1867. The most likely derivation is that it comes from
a Coca Indian word that referred either to a wooden platform
for dancing or from the tree from which the wooden platform
was made. In either case, the earliest accounts associate the
word mariachi with the events and/or persons centered around
a platform. By the late 19th century, the word mariachi was
clearly used in reference to the musicians performing at these
and other events. To this day, the word mariachi refers to
only the musical style originally from the area in and around
Jalisco.

La cultura hispana: The merengue is one of the standard
Latin American dances which has been around since the mid
1800’s. It is a combination of two dances, the African and
the French Minuet. Merengue is the national dance of the
Dominican Republic.
When couples dance the merengue, they hold each other
close and step from side to side. They can turn clockwise
or counterclockwise. This style of merengue is called ballroom merengue.
Couples can also dance apart and spin around and around.
Merengue is very good exercise, and you can have fun
dancing alone or with a partner.

Artesanía:
Make a güiro.
Directions:
Step 2: Cut strip of construction paper in different colors.
Step 3: Glue these strips on to your emtpy water bottle any
way you want. Make sure not to cover the ridges because
that’s what will make the sound.
Step 4: Use the compass to puncture two holes and stick
your scissors into the hole. Now, cut out a circle for your
fingers.
Step 5: Make a tassle with the yarn and index card. Wrap
the yarn around the index card and tie a knot to secure it.
Continue wrapping the yarn around the card about 15 times
and thread the long end through the loop and tie off at the
top. When you cut it, make sure you leave a long tail. Cut
the bottom of the tassle to make the fringes. Wrap your
tail around the top of the tassle about 5 times and tie a knot.
With the long yarn that remains hanging, secure the tassle
with a rubber band at the opening of the bottle. Glue the
yarn that remains hanging to the bottle or leave hanging.
Finally, with any color wrap it around the top of the bottle
opening to cover the rubber band and glue the end down.
Step 6: Stick your thumb and forefinger into the hole cut,
and with your other hand rub the chopsick up and down the
ridges to make the sound.
