Progress Report Grades are In

**All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish students' progress report grades are updated in IC and will appear on progress reports that go out with students early next week. These progress report grades are NOT final, students still have the opportunity to hand in their missing work or retake low test grades if they wish to do so.**

8th grade Spanish students have officially begun their compare/contrast project surrounding "The Running of the Bulls" and "La Tomatina." This unit meets the National ACTFL standards for culture that reads: "Experiencing other cultures develops a better understanding and appreciation of the relationship between languages and other cultures, as well as the student's native culture. Students become better able to understand other people's points of view, ways of life, and contributions to the world." This assignment is due Tuesday, May 20th.

7th grade Spanish students played a class game of "Jeopardía" where conjugation, pronouns, Spanish Agreement, and clothing vocabulary were reviewed. Students had an extremely abbreviated week as it was a 2-day Spanish week and we lost one day due to conferences. 

6th grade Spanish students have received rubrics for their Spanish menú project. Students will be creating a menu entirely in Spanish using authentic dishes that they research themselves. Students will then use their menus to create skits at a restaurant in which they will practice ordering food.
