Jubilee goes beyond traditional education. Recently, our 10th-grade students, under the guidance of their Spanish teacher Wendy Elvir, hosted a Grammar Fair during The Dia del Español. This event showcased the fun side of learning Spanish and introduced students to exciting activities that blend education with entertainment. If you’ve ever been curious about Spanish or our approach to learning, keep reading!
One of the highlights of the Grammar Fair was a photoshoot frame of the iconic Don Quijote and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. Created by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, these characters symbolize courage, imagination, and friendship. They remind us of the importance of pursuing dreams and cherishing friendships.
Fun and Educational Grammar Games
Our students engaged in a variety of enjoyable games that put their language skills to the test:
- Word Twister: A Spanish twist on the classic game, challenging players to place their hands and feet on Spanish words.
- Word Roulette: Students spun a roulette wheel to form sentences with the word where the wheel stopped.
- Grammar Tic-Tac-Toe: A version of “tic-tac-toe” with Spanish words that students must conjugate correctly.
- Snake Game (La Culebrita): A game where students wrote and learned basic Spanish concepts as they moved their “snake” across the board.
Fascinating Facts about Spanish

- Spanish has been influenced by many languages, including Arabic, Greek, and indigenous languages from the Americas.
- It’s spoken in more than 20 countries, each with its own variations and dialects.
