Hola,
All grades (3-7) will receive a homework packet this week. All packets are due Friday.
If student does not submit by Friday, students will have ONE WEEK after due date to receive half credit. After that, it becomes a "0" in the grade book.
Students who have not submitted last week's homework should submit them no later than this Friday for credit.
I am also holding a raffle each week for those students who do submit their homework on time. Each week, a winner will be drawn.
Grades 3, 4, and 5 - Quiz on Friday. Please study and review notes in addition to homework.
Grades 6,7 - Quiz will be next week. I will announce the date toward the end of this week.
Grade 5 - Field trip to Los Sabrosos for salsa lessons. Please submit permission slips as soon as possible. Field trip will be on Tuesday, December 17th.
Thank you!

Homework this week
Hola,
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday/break and got to relax and spend some time with your family/friends.
As we begin this new semester, I would like to remind you all that homework packets will be given weekly and will be due on Friday. Last semester, I was very lenient with students turning them in on time. This semester, as written in the syllabus, I will not be accepting lates. The homework is a tool to help students be prepared in class, practice with vocabulary and grammar and help for the test. The homework also allows me to see what students know and what they need help with. It has no benefit if it is turned in late. I will give students one week after the due date to turn it in for HALF credit. After that, I will not accept it.
All grades have a homework packet this week. Fifth grade will receive theirs tomorrow as we ran out of time in class to hand them out and I had to get them to their buses. Fifth grade will also be having a field trip in a couple of weeks so I will let you know when I send home permission slips.
Thank you for all of your support over the past semester. It is truly appreciated.

6th and 7th grade quiz
Hola,
For the 6th and 7th grade quiz, I sent home a study guide packet for the students to assist them in their studying. There are several maps for them to practice. I also gave them plenty of maps during class that we practiced with, too. The study guide is not required and does not have to be turned in, but is a great resource for all students. There are also many websites online that students can visit to practice (search Spain geography quizzes).
On this website, students may practice their regions of Spain through an interactive map. Two regions they do not need to know: Ceuta, Melilla. Other than that, this is a great website to practice. They can do "watch" first where they can scroll over the areas to learn them. Then, they can "play" and fill out the regions.
Hope this helps!!

Hi all,
Here are some updates for the week:
Senorita Bost
Here are some updates for the week:
- I will not be in school tomorrow, so students WILL NOT receive a homework packet until Tuesday.
- Many students still owe me a significant amount of homework. I will be contacting many of you this week to let you know if your child still owes me work.
- On Tuesday, I will send out a homework reminder through my Blog.
- I still do not have a date scheduled for the 5th grade field trip, but hope to have a date this week and a permission slip sent out.

Homework this week
Hola,
We have a lot going on this week! Most classes are ending their units this week, so there is a lot going on! Find your child's grade to get an update and the assigned homework as well.
3rd grade: Third grade did such a fantastic job this unit! Last Friday, they created "surrealist" paintings after learning about the artist Salvador Dali and surrealism in art. Their theme was nature and they did a great job creating artwork that really resembled this period as well incorporating their vocabulary. Today they briefly presented them in class and I will hang them up for all to see! The rest of this week, we will be reviewing what we have learned in this unit and on Thursday and Friday, they will have their unit exam. I sent home homework packets (due Friday) that had a little vocabulary review, but also told them what to focus on while they study. Please make sure your student is studying these things. A great idea is to make flashcards, or you can quiz them. Another idea is to have them teach you the words. I think they all will do a great job!
4th grade: Fourth grade is doing fantastic so far! We have not finished the unit yet, but will be having the test on Tuesday, as I announced last week. This is not a unit test, but will help them be prepared for their unit test. The focus is on the house, the rooms, the furniture and answering questions. Then, students will be learning about daily routine in Ecuador. Homework packets will be due Friday.
5th grade: Today was the best day in 5th grade! EVERY ONE participated and spoke in Spanish and ALL were enthusiastic about learning! Because of their fantastic behavior, all students earned 10 pesos! We are continuing to practice body parts and students will have their unit exam on Thursday and Friday. Also, I am trying to arrange a field trip so I will keep you updated as I get more details!
6th and 7th grade: Sixth and seventh grades have a lot going on! They are currently finishing up their adventure stories, which are due Friday (tomorrow is the last day to work on them during class). Then, we will review and they, too, will have their unit exam Thursday and Friday. They also have a small homework packet (due Friday) that will help prepare them for this upcoming exam. Many of our students in these grades have NOT been turning in homework. I am accepting them late with a point penalty, but I plan on making phone calls and sending emails later this week if students continue to not turn in their homework.
As always, I still have tutoring on Tuesdays from 3:40 to 4:20. Please feel free to contact me if you would like your child to join! It's not too late! :)
Thank you all again for all of your support!
