 World Language Teacher Lauren Craig is reading Truth and Salsa with her 6th grade Spanish classes at Smithville and Arthur Rann Elementary in Galloway, NJ. Señora Craig wrote:“The kids really love it and we are identifying the Spanish words for each chapter. Just recently I had them write a "Spanglish" story using the Spanish words they found in the story. The stories are great and I would love to share some of them with you.” It was hard to choose which to share on our site, but here are three that will make you chuckle: Cuento por Rico Hola! Me llamo Señor Rico. Today’s date is el 5 de febrero de 2009. We are reading your book Truth and Salsa and we are at the part where Margarita is opening the privada letter on the computer and after that we were at the part where they were trying our for the part in the movie when Lili and Margarita were dressing up. I was laughing when Margarita said “estamos caliente, amiga,” but I never knew that was rude. Cómo se dice 5 star book because your book is awesome! I’m so curious if the fantasma is really haunting them. Are you a gringa? Gracias for the fantastic book. Is there going to be a milagro at the end? Qué lástima when Margarita opened the privada letter. Nosey! Adiós! Cuento por Nacho Qué pasa? Me llamo Nacho. I am a chico or a boy en inglés. I live in New Jersey, USA. I play the game of hockey, maybe you have heard of it. Other sports I don’t play much of. Another thing I like to do is play the guitar. If you play an instrument, maybe we could start a mariachi band. Do you have a 4th of July in your country? On the 4th of July I like to play with cohetes. In school I like my grades to be excelente. My guitar pedals cost mucho dinero. While I am playing guitar I like to sip on limonada, it is muy bien. Anyway, I have to go. Adiós amigo! Cuento por Marco Me llamo Margarita. I am facing a big problem. I believe I have a fantasma living at my casita in México. It all started in marzo at one of our neighborhood fiestas while me and my abuelita were eating picante nachos. We heard a voice that said “Stay away from the tesoro!” Did something just say “Stay away from the tesoro?” I asked my abuelita. “Eso es,” she replied. The next day we went to the parroquia and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And when my teacher Señora Smith called on me in school I didn’t know the answer because I wasn’t paying attention. The next day my amiga approved my theory that the house was haunted. She said that past owners were haunted also. Qué lastima! I have nothing else to say and I haven’t solved the mystery, well adiós! |
