Podcasts!

I subscribed to 2 different podcasts.

The first one is Sesame Street. This is a great podcast because it is about a word of the day. Throughout the podcast, they explain the word in many ways that are kid friendly and easy to understand. I think the kids would love this and learn a lot from it each day. Every morning, I have a word of the day using words from the theme of our Daily 5 story of the week. Doing this and adding the podcast would be a great addition and a change of pace for the kids and I.

The second podcast that I subscribed to is Understanding Spanish. I teach in an elementary school that has an ELL program because we serve so many Spanish speaking kids. I think it would be really cool to add a couple minutes of Spanish a day to not only show the students how important it is for them to keep speaking Spanish but for all the kids that don't know could learn some basic words and phrases.
