Spanish Conjugations!

Have you ever heard your students talk among themselves in recess and notice that they are not conjugating correctly in Spanish? I teach Kindergarten so it is easier to eavesdrop!

I have! So I tried the verbal correction, they did not understand what I meant, and they kept on saying it wrong.
My students were saying: "Vente! vamos a juegar!"
I told them: "Vamos a jugar"
My students looked at me, turn around and repeated it in the wrong again!

So I went to my planning board ( yes! I have this huge sketch book where I draw my lessons!) to see how I could efficiently teach them the correct way. 
So I have been making little tiny books to teach them the high frequency words, vocabulary for art, vocabulary for math, vocabulary for science, music,  social studies, physical education, and technology since I started teaching in Spanish and English (Thanks to my Master Teacher!) in 1996----OMG! Of course my graphics were not what they are then, they have gone through many revisions, so you have new clip art in my Chiquilibros; by the way I get the kids graphics from different Shops. I go to Educasong and Educaclips, also I shop at Whimsy Clips, and Whimsy Workshop Teaching at TpT.

I though they have already learn how to do the interactive little books by tracing the word, coloring the pictures, cutting them, and placing the pages in order, to be staple. Then we read, and re-read, and re-read until they know them by heart. I decided to just add the Spanish conjugations with the pronouns so they will learn them. Later on, we drop the pronouns because you do not need them. The verb has the tense, gender, and person who is doing the action, so pronouns are redundant. 
Notice how the natives of Spanish talk, you will never hear them using pronouns!

It worked, so I did it in English and I use them for my ESL students (in my district we call them ELD students: English Language Development rather than English as a Second Language)

One of my little students called them "Libros Chiquitos", then we kept playing with the word "Chiquitos" and another student call it Chiquilibros. Ingenious! So everyone started calling it the Chiquilibros Activity, and it was born. So I tried to translate it, but Tiny books was not as close or as catchy, as the whole "Chiqui" culture at that point in my classroom, so I call it Chiqui-books and my students really like it.
Here is the Spanish Conjugation Chiqui*books that I have in my store. Check it out!
