Sooooooooo Proud!!!

I just have to send a special message to all of my first period 6th grade Spanish students. You all made me so proud last Friday when Dr. Davis, Duval County Supervisor for Foreign Languages, visited our class. I couldn't have asked for better participation and cooperation. ¡Buen trabajo, clase!

New Vocabulary - Los Animales

Today students were introduced to names for 24 different animals in Spanish. Please consult the files for the study list. Due to the shortened class period to adjust for the in-school football game, students are bringing home their workbooks to complete p. 15 & 16 (Rev. Ex. B, Ex. 9A, 9B, 9C) for homework. This folder also contains many of their test papers and class work, so it would be a great opportunity for you to take a look at what they've been doing in class. Students, don't forget to bring a picture of one of the animals on the list to class on Tuesday.
