Many students have done fantastic work with our Libros Abecedarios. We had books that showed La Playa, Las Frutas, La Cocina, La Casa, El Espacio, El Mar and more.
This week we begin our study of leisure and free time activities. We will be diving into Avancemos and will begin our adventure with Alicia and her traveling camiseta de futbol.
Our next project, the Bolsa Cafe involves using props in order to talk about ones self, interests and activities. Students should be gathering items that can put in a bag in order to use during the presentation. Students will be receiving the rubric this week and it will be posted on the blog as well.

Our Libros Abecedarios were quite creative and fun. A few were quite funny. Buen trabajo!

We began this week our use of the language Website and App Duolingo. It is a fantastic way for students to use the computer or other device at their own pace to acquire new language and vocabulary. We will be visiting the computer lab on a weekly basis and students are expected to spend one hour per week at home using the website. Students will be evaluated according to their progress throughout the year.
This coming week we begin out study of the very popular and useful verbs SER and ESTAR. We will also be diving into the textbook and watching the drama of the world-traveling soccer jersey.
Spanish 5-6
We have been reviewing the use of reflexive verbs and the respective pronouns in the present, past and progressive tenses.
Students in Spanish 5-6 also began this week using Duolingo and are asked to spend 90 minutes per week using the program outside of school time.
I look forward to seeing everyone at Open House on the 9th of October.
