¡Bienvenidos a la clase de español!

This year we will continue to reinforce vocabulary, greetings, common phrases, grammar, and culture.  The students will build the confidence to read, write, and have more conversations at their appropriate levels through various activities.

The 8th graders will be reading an adventure story, La Gran Aventura de Alejandro which beautifully depicts Spanish history and culture through the eyes of its main character, a thirteen year old named Alejandro Toledo.  Students will become familiar with everyday Spanish with the dialogs among Alejandro, his siblings and parents, and the people they meet.

Learning a language is not easy.  It requires a combination of hard work and a desire to try something new.  At the end of the year you will be surprise at the results.

Students will be required to have:

• Respect and Discipline
• Notebook (it will be checked periodically)
• Pen
• Spanish/English dictionary
• Completed all homework assignments on time
• Review for monthly quizzes (2 per month)

Students are responsible for all missed work.  Please ask them to pick up lessons and homework when they return to school and not a week later.

Students are encouraged to visit a useful website www.pasoapaso.com for extra activities.

If there any questions and/or concerns please feel free to contact me.

¡Gracias!
