¡Bienvenidos!(Welcome Back!):
I hope you've all had a relaxing and fun Thanksgiving break. It was great seeing the kids again, and listening to their stories about the many ways they and their families have been practicing Spanish outside of the classroom. This is exciting news for me, since speaking Spanish outside of school is a wonderful way for students to apply their knowledge in a real-life context. So many of the students are surprised and pleased to know that "Hey! This stuff really works!" or "I said "Hola" and he said "Hola" back, and now I'm teaching him English and he's teaching me Spanish!" Thanks to all of you for making these experiences possible for you children.
A New Name for Quizzes:
In order to promote a sense of ownership and a comfortable atmosphere during quiz- taking, I've decided to rename quizzes "self evaluations."
SELF EVALUATION NEXT WEEK:
Next week's self evaluation will be on the location words (Prepositions). You'll find these words/phrases listed at the bottom of the vocabulary list I posted before the break. A good way to practice for the self evaluation, is to ask your child to hide a favorite item somewhere in the house and to play a "Hot" and "Cold" game to find the item. The word for "Hot" in Spanish is "Caliente" and the word for "Cold" is "Frío!"
Evaluation Days:
Mr. Hughes: Wed., December 9
Ms. Tucker: Th., December 10
Ms. Lemmon and Mr. Lee: Fr., December 11
¡Hasta la vista!
