We had a great first week!

We started off with our safety procedures and classroom expectations. Our 4th and 5th graders had fun discovering the Spanish classroom as well as translated our first back-to-school “Brain pop Español” video.

In Middle School students wrote about what they did over the summer and translated it into Spanish and they presented it in Español. 

Next week as we begin our first full week; I will continue to review safety procedures, and classroom expectations with 3rd grade and the other 4th grade class. As I meet with the classes throughout the week, I will update our progress by grade. 

I am looking forward to meeting with all of the students and having fun learning Español!

We will begin with Lesson 1: Me llamo and Un viaje internacional
