Yesterday I did a new lesson with my 7th graders that reinforced everything I've always felt about integrating culture into language study.
It was one of those lessons where you just WISH the principal would pop in to see how things are going. (Of course, they never pop in THEN, they pop in right when you're troubleshooting a technology problem and some kid needs a band-aid and another kid needs you to sign his pre-arranged absence note and give him the work for the next 3 days because he's going to Disney World and...) AND it was one of those lessons in BOTH periods, which is even better because it's much more likely that it's really appealing to a wide range of kids, and not one of those things that works like magic with one group and the next group acts like they're about to fall asleep. 17 Fun Games to Play in Spanish Class!

Virtual Professional Learning Networks - The Inspired Classroom If you live in an urban area, near a university, or work in a large school district you may have access to lunchtime brownbag meetings and idea exchanges.
Professional educators with a common interest sit down and share ideas and resources with each other. I am often envious of English teachers who have fellow faculty members, who are teaching the exact same content, to share thoughts with. Librarians and Arts teachers seldom have access to a team of fellow colleagues faced with the same issues. And if you live and work in a rural community, you will rarely have access to group of contemporaries meeting to discuss new ideas and resources. I have found that by creating an online Professional Learning Network (PLN) I am still able to discuss new ideas, share resources, and promote current uses with individuals interested in information resources and educational technology.

I have to admit that a lot of the Spanish jokes my children told when they were little, or English jokes for that matter, did not make me laugh.
They were usually basic word play or just silly. Of course, even when I didn’t think they were very funny, the kids thought they were hilarious. There are lots of simple Spanish jokes that children can understand. Some depend on the double meaning of a word. Other jokes play with the way sounds combine in Spanish, or with how the meaning of a word changes when the gender of the noun is changed.
Children learn language from listening, so they do not have to tell Spanish jokes themselves to learn from them. To make the most of Spanish jokes with language learners: -Tell your child that you are going to tell a joke. When children do tell jokes, they repeat them from memory, much like songs or poems. The vocabulary in jokes varies a lot, so your child may understand some perfectly and others not at all. 1.
