donquijote.org

My students have been learning about the Spanish alphabet lately. One of our main projects is to create a classroom power point "Spanish Alphabet Video". We are sending these videos to the younger students at each school who do not have the opportunity to take spanish. Students have been going to the donquijote.org/spanishlearning/ website to practice their spanish letters. There is an alphabet that allows you to click on each letter. A pop up box appears with a picture of the word that starts with the letter. I have enjoyed listening to my students play this game. As I walk by I can hear them say the letters and the words with perfect pronunciation. It has been a wonderful enhancement activity for them. Also on the site is a link to practice spanish numbers in the same way. The Latin Culture link is also popular, but some of the pictures of the artists are a little too provocative. I also have to warn them not to click on the youtube link while exploring the site.

Stacy, the don quixote site is great! I'm glad to hear that your students are enjoying it so much. BTW, Gloria and I also visited the Alcazar in Segovia numerous times when we were there. One of the top ten best events of my life was visiting Spain and France.
