Every student at College View Elementary attends Spanish class each week. Preschool students have Spanish class once a week for 20 minutes each session. Students in kindergarten through 5th grade come to Spanish twice a week for 30 minutes each session. 

 

Listed on each grade level page is the vocabulary that the students have been learning in class. Spanish uses the Latin-derived alphabet (the same alphabet that English uses), but the letters make a different sound in Spanish. This can be very challenging for practicing vocabulary with your student. If you are planning on practicing spoken vocabulary with your student, do not hesitate to use an online dictionary like SpanishDict  that has a speaking option available.  This is an external site that is in no way associated with the Council Bluffs Community School District. SpanishDict and other dictionary sites may have advertisements, parent supervision is recommended.  

 

 

How to use SPANISHDICT to help with pronunciation. 

 

Begin by typing the vocabulary word into the box in either English or Spanish. If you are typing the

word in Spanish, be sure to use all accents. Click enter. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now the word is written in both Spanish and English. Click on the speaker symbol that is directly behind the word in Spanish. Your electronic device will say the word using correct Spanish pronunciation.

There are five different options to practice with each set of

list of vocabulary phrases. Each of these options provides a 

different activity or game to work with the words.

(either the English or the Spanish) and flip the card over to view the answer

in the other language.

but you type in the opposite language. This allows you to practice typing

out the words and getting the correct accents and spelling. 

 

 

 

 

Speller

Speller allows you to practice your listening skills. You will hear the words

in Spanish and see what it means in English. It is expected that you type

the words in Spanish. If you make an error, you are shown why it is

incorrect and given another opportunity to get it correct.

Test is a practice test that includes written answers, multiple choice

questions, matching, and true or false questions. You have control

of which type of questions are given. You can select whether you want the

questions with Spanish prompts or English prompts. 

 

Scatter

Scatter is a game that times how long it takes you to match up words in

Spanish and English. It uses eight of the vocabulary phrases and has them

on a scatter board in both languages. You select one of the phrases in

either Spanish or English and drag it to the match in the opposite language.

The game keeps track of how long it takes and who has the highest score. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Space Race

Space Race is a game that gives you practice with typing the vocabulary

words and phrases in Spanish. A word or phrase will come onto the

screen and you must type what it means in the opposite language. If you

are typing in Spanish, be sure to use appropriate accent marks. Click

enter to see if you got each phrase correct. The goal of the game is to

complete each word or phrase before it leaves the screen. If you are

unsuccessful, a box comes up to pause the game for you to practice
