All students in grades 3-7 received a homework packet yesterday that will be due Friday, January 24th. The homework packet is larger than normal as it serves as a study guide for their upcoming unit exam.
Unit exams will be Monday and Tuesday of next week. Students should be studying (making flash cards is a great way to study vocabulary) and go over any grammatical concepts they learned and bring in any questions they have so that I can help prepare them to do well on their exam.
Thank you for all of your support!

Tarea and other news...
As a reminder, students received a homework packet on Friday. It is due this upcoming Friday.
Grades 3-5 will have a quiz on Friday.
Grades 6 and 7 will have a test on Friday.
I sent home letters in sealed envelopes to many students on Friday (and to some today if they were absent) with a grade update and reason for their grade. PLEASE sign and return to me as soon as you can. This is very important.
Don't forget you can always check grades online and to look at their weekly progress report and to email me if you'd like to discuss grades. I tried to contact as many parents as possible through email, phone calls and letters as I have over one hundred students and this can be difficult to do, but all students who have dropping grades should have received one of these methods of contact.
Thank you parents/guardians for all of your support!

Homework update
Hi all,
Hope you all stayed warm these past couple days!
I did not hand out homework on Monday because we ran out of paper and because of the two days off on Tuesday and Wednesday, I am going to give the students the homework for this week and add a page and make it due NEXT Friday (the 17th). I will give the students this homework tomorrow so they will have the weekend plus all next week to complete it. I am not sure what we are going to get through which is why I am waiting until tomorrow so I can see what page I can add for each grade.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Salsa Dance Lessons with 5th grade
Today we had our salsa dance lessons with Los Sabrosos Dance Company in downtown Pittsburgh for fifth graders to culminate their music unit and I must say we had A LOT of fun!! We first learned a little meringue dance and then some salsa dance. Students practiced and worked hard and were really looking good! We also saw some dance demonstrations by our two teachers and by the end, the students were asking when we could return!
Gracias to Los Sabrosos Dance Company!
Homework

Homework and Updates
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.
