Oral Presentation - 7th Grade Spanish - Period 3A (one semester)

Students wrote a brief paragraph today describing themselves in Spanish. On Wednesday, they should be prepared to give a presentation in which they include their name, origin, age, birthday, and a favorite color. The focus of their practice should be on accurate pronunciation and fluency. This presentation will count as an oral test grade.

Spanish classes could use your help!

We're running low on some basic supplies. If anyone would like to donate hand sanitizer, kleenex or copy paper for the class, it would be greatly appreciated!

Muchas gracias!
