8th grade Spanish students have completed their unit on "La hora." The grades for this unit have been posted on Infinite Campus for parents and students. The exam for this unit was administered Thursday (for Red day) and Friday (for Blue day). Tests can be made up for FULL credit at any time in the first trimester so please encourage your child to take advantage if they are unhappy with their scores.

7th grade Spanish students have  continued their first TPR unit about a boy named Gabi and his messy locker and the interesting things he finds. The series is called "El armario de Gabi" (Gabi's locker).
* Cuento 3: Los padres de Gabi (Gabi's Parents)
* Cuento 4: La cucaracha (The Cockroach)
* Los cuentos de Gabi Kahoot! and a listening quiz is how we synthesized this unit.
Students learn different structures in Spanish with each chapter. Students are asked guiding questions both written and orally and are asked to act in different scenarios each chapter. Grades for this unit have been posted on Infinite Campus for parents and students to access.

6th grade Spanish students have been reviewing their knowledge of cognates, false cognates, and sentence structures from elementary school. We have begun our first MovieTalk unit featuring 3 episodes of "El gato de Simón" (Simon's Cat). Students learn different structures in Spanish with each chapter. Students are asked guiding questions both written and orally. Our first MovieTalks were:
* Mariposas (Butterflies) tiene, ama, está
* El agua caliente (Hot water) salta, canta, quiere
