¿De dónde eres tu? An interrogative at work:
El profesional... ¿es un héroe?
Third graders know about many professions in Spanish. They extended their thinking to consider: Is this profesional a hero? Why or why not? Students had to prove their points in Spanish.Their classmates voted, and the votes have been counted.
These are the 1st place winners for El Héroe y El Anti-Héroe:
¡El Bombero y La Bailarina!

¡Cuántas profesiones!
¿Estás enfermo?
¿Tienes dolor de estómago?
¡El doctor te cuida!
These and other problemas y soluciones are the subject of discussion as we work on the professions in our community. We started small with problems and solutions: I'm cold. Well, put on a sweater! Our focus was not only on problem solving, but centered around the verb tener + noun.
Now we have telescoped this thinking to considering which professionals would help us solve problems: police officers, fire fighters, teachers and more.
Now that we are comfortable with this simple vocabulary, we are actively using it with appropriate verbs to create spontaneous language about our community.
