Dear family,
I hope everyone is well. We have started Spanish classes. Kindergarten started today with learning the colors in Spanish. We watched two videos on the Smartboard about colors. I will try to post sheets for those students who are working from home.  
First grade started today with the days of the week in Spanish.  We sang a song with a video on the Smart board. We will continue to learn more things in Spanish as the year continues.
Second grade will have Spanish on Wednesdays and review colors, numbers, greetings and other things. They will create a small booklet about themselves on Wednesday.  They will eventually learn the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) in Spanish.
Grades three to six will start Exploring Spanish and continue with twenty chapters. They will learn greetings, numbers, geography of Spain and Mexico, map skills, music, shopping and other information. They will also use digital programs in Spanish such as Basho and Friends, quia.com, duolingo for the older kids, quizlet.com and other videos on line. They will use Rosetta Stone starting from the sixth grade to eighth grade.
When the sixth grade students complete Exploring Spanish they will begin Avancemos Textbook and workbook sheets.  They will work on duolingo and Rosetta Stone on Fridays.
Grades three through eight will have projects or homework activities depending on the chapter they are working on.  Lets make this year memorable.
