Esta semana en espaƱol (Week of 11/13)

6th grade students have quite a busy week in Spanish class this week!! Students are doing an interpretive listening assessment Monday to finish out their review of numbers and the Spanish alphabet.

For the rest of the week, students will be starting Unit 2, which is focused on basic greetings in Spanish, how to say/write the date, and how to tell time. Students will be having their interpretive listening assessment on this unit on Friday, so please encourage your students to look over these new vocabulary words and phrases during the week so that they're well prepared for Friday's assessment.

Have a great week!
