¡Buenos días! I hope all students and parents had a restful and relaxing summer. I am excited to be starting this fresh new year with some fantastic veteran 7th and 8th graders, and I am thrilled to be meeting my incoming 6th graders.
The first week of school we will be reviewing content from last year and we will use that prior knowledge as a springboard for a productive 2014-2015 Spanish year. In my previous post, I have provided links to some Spanish websites that students utilized last year and are also ones that my new 6th graders will find very accessible. I am going to strongly encourage students to take 10-15 minutes for the next week or so, to review colors, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, weather, body parts, family, numbers, animals, and courteous expressions. I am hoping that the games will jog some memories so all students will start this year in the right mindset and in a good place.
I am also providing the standards for foreign language so parents/students can access what curriculum looks like at the national level. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Here's to a great year!
