Hola,
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. The kids are doing such a great job working on their presentations and are doing so with much enthusiasm!
I made a little change to the rubric that I wanted you all to be aware of. (I already told the students).
On the rubric, under the content, it lists several different areas such as weather, currency, capital, flag, food, places to visit, holidays, etc. Because of a lack of resources (i.e. we are unable to check out the computer lab 4 of the days of the week and there are no printing options in the computer lab), I am only requiring students to choose FOUR of those to share with the class. For example, they can share the flag with the class and talk about that in some detail (the flag is blue and white and there is a sun on it, for example). Some had also asked me to print some pictures, so I will be printing those pictures for them.
I will continue to help them this week and look forward to seeing their presentations this week!

Homework Policies
Hola,
In my last post, I told you the homework for this week. I forgot to mention something about homework.
A lot of the students are NOT turning in homework, which is significantly hurting their grades. I have made several phone calls and sent several emails and will continue to do so. Please, parents and guardians, encourage your students to complete and turn in their homework. I do not grade for correctness. I grade for completion and effort, so if students are trying and they did every single problem (which is never a lot), they will get full credit. This is very important as they develop their Spanish. The school sent out planners today, so I am hoping this will help our students be more successful.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I do send out vocabulary lists each time we learn new vocabulary and these can be used to complete homework.
Thank you for all of your support!

La Tarea/Homework
Hola,
Here is this week's homework for Spanish class. Although I may write "no homework", it is recommended that each student study their vocabulary for 5 to 10 minutes each night. This will help them be prepared for the next day and avoids cramming for exams. This also boosts confidence! :) Hope this helps!
3rd grade:
Monday - No homework
Tuesday - Teach parents 5 vocabulary words. Parents will sign worksheet.
Wednesday - Writing activity: Describe three people using vocabulary.
Thursday - Personal Dictionary for Emotions
Friday - No homework
4th grade:
Students are working on an in-class project about a Spanish-speaking country. Each student was assigned a country. I am providing them with information and they are filling out their research chart. They will be working on their presentations all this week and will present on Monday and Tuesday. If they cannot complete it in class this week, they will have to finish their projects so that they will be ready to present on Monday.
5th grade:
Monday - Study for Wednesday's quiz.
Tuesday - Study for Wednesday's quiz.
Wednesday - Quiz today. No homework.
Thursday - Descriptions worksheet.
Friday - No homework.
6th and 7th grade:
Monday - Study for quiz tomorrow.
Tuesday - Quiz today.
Wednesday - Worksheet on family and possessive pronouns
Thursday - Study for writing assignment.
Friday - In-class graded writing assignment (test)
