ESTAR & SER are some of the most difficult verbs for students to remember, and learn to use properly as they become more comfortable with their new language. However, this mnemonic has become one of my most useful and purposeful lessons. Students remember and use them all the time after they have learned it this way.

How to use this activity:Students create three small paragraphs: (1) morning routine, (2) school routine, and (3) after school or afternoon routine. 

The Big Idea: Kinesthetic learning incorporating programming and language instructionConcept: Programming Bee-Bot while learning school vocabulary and the verb ESTARContext: Students will use the Bee-Bot School Map to talk about the location of various places in the school building and area in Spanish.
