¡Hola!

So much has happened since my last post.

The elementary campus hosted the 2015-2016 Student Showcase.  It was a huge success. Attendance numbers were very impressive.

Spanish students showcased their "casa de mis sueños"  project, restaurant menus, restaurant skits, and Kahoot games.

For the last 9 weeks of the year, students will be focusing on vocabulary related to team sports (soccer, basketball, and baseball).  Students will write and present a sports broadcast of their sport of choice.

Students will also concentrate on conjugating -er and -ir verbs.

Below is the link to the  Capítulo 7 vocabulary list:

Good Morning.

Within the last few weeks, students created menus for restaurants, in Spanish.  Students also wrote and acted out skits pertaining to going to a restaurant.  Everything was in Spanish.

This week, students will begin designing "La Casa de mis Sueños" (My Dream House).  They will draw up/design blue prints of their dream house and label everything in Spanish.  Students will use vocabulary from Capítulo 6.

You will be able to see the menus and the dream house designs at the district student showcase, next week.  Attached is a flyer with all the information.  Hope to see you there.

¡Hola! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

This nine weeks students will be learning how to conjugate -er and -ir verbs.
