Next Week in Spanish - Week of 2/18

Next week in Spanish 6th graders will be continuing with Unit 2, which is focused on two topics: basic expressions in Spanish (greetings, goodbyes, etc.) and date/time. The first part of the week students will be finishing up a lesson on how to tell the time correctly in Spanish and the second part of the week will go back to working on basic expressions. Students will most likely have their short Speaking Assessment for the unit on Thursday or Friday of next week, where they will have to respond to a few questions in Spanish.

Have a great weekend!
