Aprendemos en casa: We learn at home

Language learning tip of the week…

Whether your child is in a Spanish Immersion school or not, you may want to continue language learning at home during weekends, vacations, and other out-of-school time.  One great way to encourage your child (and yourself) to use Spanish at home is to label household objects with their Spanish names.  The labels could even include a photo of the object with the word beneath it to help children associate a word's meaning with the print.  Here is a simple list to get you started.

Español	English
La nevera	Refrigerator
El fregadero	Sink (kitchen)
La mesa	Table
La silla	Chair
La cama	Bed
El lavamanos	Sink (bathroom)
El inodoro	Toilet
La ventana	Window
La puerta	Door
