Last week students began following simple commands in Spanish and finding out about each other.  We have already introduced approximately 30 new words and phrases in Spanish through those two activities.  We will continue with the same format over the next few weeks until we have had a chance to learn about each student and their likes and dislikes.

A new school year is starting, and I am excited to have your child in my Spanish class!

 

During the course of this year your child will:

Listen to stories, songs and movies in Spanish Read stories, novels, and newspaper articles in Spanish Write paragraphs, stories, and short essays in Spanish Tell stories, answer questions, and role-play in Spanish  

I never give students an assignment which we have not already covered in class. They will never be asked to do something on their own which they do not have the skills to do. They should not need extensive help with their homework. Parents can help by listening to their child retelling stories in Spanish, and reviewing vocabulary with them. If anybody is truly struggling with an assignment, please do not work for more than 15-20 minutes. Turn in the work you have completed with a note explaining the difficulties and make arrangements to work with me one-on-one for help. 

 

I keep my website up to date. My class policies, current homework assignments, and assignment instructions are all on this page as is my weekly blog which talks about what is going on in class.
