Fourth graders learn to talk about the weather in Spanish — hace sol, hace frío, llueve — so they can describe what it’s like outside in a new language.
Students will be able to…
¿Qué tiempo hace? (What’s the weather like?) Whether it’s sunny or rainy, you can now say it in Spanish! How?
Project this and match each Spanish weather phrase to its English meaning — tap the Spanish, then tap the English.
Tap any phase to open the teacher moves and student actions.
