Please Note:

• Each section (3rd - 5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th) has a link to a separate class page with internet games for the students to practice thematic vocabulary at home.  The students ALWAYS have Spanish that they can practice at home!

Please use this site to see what your child is learning in Spanish, to download materials for review, and to communicate with me.

For Junior High Students:  Assessments for each quarter address the three modes of communication--interpersonal (spontaneous conversation & dialogue), presentational (projects like skits, puppet shows, posters, PowerPoint presentations, brochures, etc.) and interpretive (reading & listening and responding orally or in writing).  Performance goals are assessed at the end of each thematic unit and skills are assessed throughout the unit.  Please see the performance goals for your child's current thematic unit of study.  You also have access to my curriculum planning guide for each unit (located in the FILES section at the bottom of the page). 

Spanish Homework Guidelines can be downloaded from the FILES section near the bottom of this class page.

 Parents, if you would like to buy some Spanish music for your child, Fiestas by José-Luis Orozco is one that I use in class. You can get a book to go with the CD that has all the words (and translations). The book also has beautiful illustrations. There are several books by this author that your children will love.
