Esta semana en español (Week of 1/8)

Hello parents!

This week, 6th grade Spanish students are transitioning from the reading/listening portion of the human body unit to the speaking portion. Students will be doing a small reading assessment today (1/8) and will have another short assessment they will be working on in-class on Thursday (1/11). Please encourage your student to keep looking over their Spanish vocabulary in preparation for these assessments to end out our quarter together on a strong note!

Have a great week!
