*** Moore Time Spanish has had continued success and we are in our fifth week of meeting. Meetings will alternate between Miss Parker and Ms. Twomey. New members are always welcome! This is a great opportunity to practice conversational Spanish in a relaxed setting with friends. It is also a wonderful way to earn extra credit in foreign language!

6th grade Spanish students continued reading their new mini-novela "Las aventuras de Isabela." We completed chapters 3 & 4 this week. Students were asking guiding questions and acted out the stories using Reader's Theatre. These chapters included:
* Capítulo tres: Las estatuas y la Basílica
* Capítulo cuatro: El Caballito (y otras aventuras)
