Welcome to PRIMAVERA! A 10-week Morning Time Plan to support your family’s Spanish language journey.
It is our sincere hope that this Morning Time Plan will help you and your family grow in
your proficiency of and love for the Spanish language. We created these plans out
of our own quest to find resources to help us raise bilingual children. This plan outlines
fun and creative ways to expose children to beautiful, useful winter-themed
language while intentionally working to build their vocabulary.
In PRIMAVERA you will find:
• 100 high-frequency VOCABULARY words with printable flashcards.
• 5 carefully selected MEMORIZATION pieces.
• A list of living BOOKS written in original Spanish (non-translated) as well as
translated favorites.
• Upbeat, poetic MUSIC the whole family will enjoy.
• Weekly NATURE OUTINGS and vocab building ACTIVITIES.
Do I need to speak Spanish to use this plan?
PRIMAVERA was created with moderate to fluent Spanish speakers in mind. The
more Spanish spoken throughout these activities, the better! Also, the book selec-
tions have been made with the assumption that you are a confident reader of Span-
ish.
However, this plan can be adapted for families learning Spanish together. You may
use the vocabulary, memorization, and music portions to greatly increase your
vocabulary. Each nature outing and activity can be used to reinforce basic
vocabulary such as colors and numbers.
Welcome to PRIMAVERA!

10-Week Plan vs. Loop Schedule For those who thrive on structure, the 10-Week block schedule may be used as
written. For others, we’ve included a Loop Schedule which allows you to capitalize
on the richness of the full plan while working through the content at your own pace.
If you already have a Morning Time routine, but are looking to add Spanish to it, you
may prefer to choose one or two of our categories to add to your Morning Time. In
short, this plan is flexible!
A Word on Daily Subjects Memorization is a beautiful tool that allows children to speak correctly and more
eloquently than they can on their own. Vocabulary words are intentionally chosen
for their high-frequency usage during the fall season. Both memorization and
vocabulary building require regular repetition, and for this reason these two subjects
are planned to take place each day. For tips and tricks on how to make repetition
fun, including how to use our flashcards as Montessori Three-Part Cards visit our blog
at www.bilingualtogether.com.
Suggested Resources This plan was created to be self-contained. The Memorization selections are
included. Vocabulary flashcards are included for printing. The Booklist can be used
to look up titles at your local library. If your library does not have many Spanish titles,
ask your librarian about interlibrary loan. The Nature Outings and Activities can all be
done with common household items. The album, Una Voz by Canciónes, Raíces y
Alas, can be purchased or streamed online.
Online Resource Page We created an online Resource Page for our PRIMAVERA Morning Time Plan with
purchase links to the album Una Voz as well as all the books on our Booklist. You will
also find links to blog posts for tips on making memorization fun and how to use our
flashcards as Montessori Three-Part Cards, as well as links to audio and video
resources to support this plan. (Access to this page is available with purchase of the
10-Week Plan.)

La Primavera por Antonio Machado
Antonio Machado was a Spanish poet during the end of the 17th Century, and a
member of the Spanish literary group known as the Generation of ‘98. Other
members this group included Rubén Darío and Antonio’s older brother, Manuel.
Much of his work is serious and symbolic, drawing attention to the plight of the
working class and abusive power structures of his time. The piece selected here,
however, feels light and curious as the author contemplates the wonder of the
changing seasons.

La Primavera ha venido
Nadie sabe cómo ha sido
Ha despertado la rama
Y el almendro ha florecido
Spring has come
No one knows how she did it.
The branches have awakened
The almond tree has flowered
Y en el campo se escuchaba
El gri gri del grillo.
La primavera ha venido
Nadie sabe cómo ha sido.
In the countryside you hear
The cree, cree of the cricket.
Spring has come
No one knows how.
Selections For Memory
04
Boat Race: Spend some time making boats out of recycled materials or paper. Visit
the Resource Page for links to boat building videos in Spanish. Take your creations to
a river, stream or pond and see which vessel works the best!
Box House: Save your package boxes and let your children design and build a
house or castle for their matchbox cars or small toys. If you happen to have a large
box, they can create a shelter for themselves! Talk about the tools they would need
if they were building a real house!
