1 & HPISD FLES Curriculum - Kindergarten UNIT NAME ESTIMATED DURATION 9 WEEK PERIOD UNIT 1: VAMOS A SER AMIGOS (AP Theme: Personal and Public Identities) Unit Overview 4 WEEKS In this unit students learn the basic language skills and vocabulary needed to socialize within the classroom setting. This includes greetings, introductions, and farewells. Students also learn common expressions of courtesy that demonstrate gratitude and grace. Students gain proficiency at counting 0 through 10. They learn, understand, and follow classroom commands and teacher directions. Enduring Understandings The student will understand that: Concepts Greeting and Farewells Expressions Numbers Commands Guiding/Essential Questions The way in which people greet and introduce themselves varies between cultures. The study of languages enriches students knowledge in other disciplines. Command of a language requires frequent practice; without use, language can be lost. The study of other cultural values, products, practices, and perspectives dissolves the illusion of our separateness. A globally competent citizen communicates effectively in at least one language other than English (Profile of the Learner). An effective communicator speaks clearly and articulately for varied purposes and audiences (Profile of the Learner). An effective communicator listens actively and respectfully to the opinions and perspectives of others (Profile of the Learner). Student Key Guiding Question: How do we make new friends? How do greetings and farewells differ among cultures? How does learning a second language improve interdisciplinary knowledge in mathematics? How does frequent practice of common commands, instructions, and phrases help prevent the loss of language? How does the study of other cultures dissolve our separateness? Learning Targets Proficiency Learning Targets: The student will be able to correctly say hello and goodbye to someone their own age, younger, or older.
