Buenas tardes a todos, (Good afternoon everyone)
Just a reminder that ordinarily there is homework Monday through Thursday with none during the weekend, unless of course there is a project. Most of the homework is given in packet form with 4 or 5 pages in a packet. I find that this saves time for everyone in class and the students need to become more responsible for holding on to their work. Losing a packet is not in anyone's best interest.
There will be a quiz on Tuesday of next week on our notes in section 2 of the notebook . In our book, we are still in chapter 1 and the quiz will be on the material covered from pages 6 to 17. We practice the expressions almost everyday, so that the students should be very familiar with the material if they pay attention, participate, and do their homework.
I do stay after school 2 or 3 times per week, usually Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (late bus on Thursday) unless I have other commitments. I announce when I am available for make-ups or extra help at the beginning of the week. If you are having trouble, please stay. People who continually avoid homework will be asked to stay to make it up. I will be calling home if it is a chronic problem. Gracias!

Week of September 26, 2011
Hola estudiantes and padres (students and parents),
I hope you are all off to a good start in school, but especially in Spanish. So far we have been learning about greetings, goodbyes, capitals, countries, weather, numbers, alphabet, customs in Spain, months, days of the week, money, and feelings. The students are doing well and seem to be enjoying the class.
This week we will be learning about subjects and verbs, telephone and internet expressions, and capital and country expressions. We will be working more with partners now that we have established more routines and we will be writing and performing a dialog at the end of the week. We have also started our listening activities on tape where the students hear native speakers and respond to questions that they hear. It is good for the students to hear other voices and various accents from different countries. There are no quizzes this week, but we have had two so far, some graded homework, and some graded classwork.
The homework for tonight Monday 9/26 is all of page 1a and page 3 exercises 8 and 9 in the packet.
Tuesday night homework will be page 4 in the old packet and page 5V in the new packet which the students will receive tomorrow.
There will be no homework Wednesday or Thursday nights due to the Jewish holidays. We will resume our normal schedule next week of homework Monday through Thursday.
Hasta pronto! (see you soon ) Senora Schneider

Hola Clases,
We have gotten off to a great start learning the alfabeto, numeros, el tiempo (weather) and the fecha(date). we have given everyone a new Spanish name, have had mini conversations, and passed out money envelopes for the euro program. Homework will be given Monday thru Thursday for most weeks. Hopefully, everyone will enjoy Spanish this year, work hard, and learn many new things. Adios!
