Buenas noches a todos, (Good evening to everyone)
Hello parents! If you did not come to open house last week, I sent home an information packet with the students for you to look at. It explains the expectations of the class, the grading policy, homework policy and makeup policy for my clase de espanol. (Spanish class) There are also some study tips for your students about how to practice and study for a foreign language. I hope you will find it useful.
Last week we had a quiz on the alphabet and most students did very well. We also played "PONGA" which is Spanish bingo, learned some new goodbyes and asking about people in the class, talked about holidays in September and compared cultures, learned some animal vocabulary and how words are masculine or feminine and say the alphabet song for the last time.We have been using our euros in class and the students have been earning them by participating and completing their homework. Ask your child how many they have and what we are using them for.
This week we will be learning more numbers up to 100, Hispanic countries and their capitals, how to say where you are from, telling time, practicing dialogs with 2 or 3 partners, having a quiz on the numbers (probably Thursday or Friday), learning about the verb "to be" and how it is used with different pronouns and singing some more songs. I hope your child is enjoying Spanish as much as I am enjoying teaching it and I am looking forward to another good week. Gracias. Senora Schneider
