Theme ~ I chose Christmas for my theme.  It is designed for first graders and would be best applied in December, around Christmas time.  Some possible standards that might be addressed would be:

 

Standards:

  • Students will gain knowledge and understanding of other peoples and cultures through the study of the target language.
  • Students should be able to compare the lives of people and events associated with major holidays, including Christmas.
  • Students will use world language to increase their understanding of the home language and culture.
