"Make It Comprehensible!": Add Some Summer Fun to Your Reading!

As the school year comes to an end I struggle more and more to keep kids on task... it seems that these last days I have to convince them to work every day, and that we are not done yet! We are reading Brandon Brown quiere un perro with one group, and Piratas del Caribe y el mapa secreto with another.
One of the activities I have students do after a class story, or after reading, is to draw sketches on paper and then retell. This time, I got some chalk and took them outside to do the same, but on the sidewalk! This winter was a very long one so students (and also teachers!) are ready to get out and enjoy the nice weather. Students were very motivated and we all had a lot of fun. It is also really nice to see other people passing by after school, trying to figure out what our Spanish students did!
