Dear Parents:
We are starting a new 9 week period. I will be sending the list of the new vocabulary (1st to 3rd) soon. This semester we will be starting a Scholastic reading club. I will send the catalogs as soon as I receive them, if you are interested in purchasing any of the books from the scholastic catalog please fill the forms and attach the checks in an envelope.
We will have the listening, reading and writing Noella test online (3rd to 5th). I want to remain you that if you would not like you child to take this test, please send the form signed. We still have the reading test on February.
Best wishes for this New Year!

The folders with the new vocabulary were sent today, please keep the vocabulary at home, and make sure your children review it at least once a week.(1st, 2nd. and 3rd)
Please return folders on Monday November 19th
Thank you,

October
The evaluations you received are for the first 3 and a half weeks.
The language report card is yellow and it will go home at the same time the 9 weeks academic reports are sent.
I would like to inform you that language evaluations are not like other classes. It is not a fail/pass grade. "N" does not mean "F," or "E" does not mean "A"
"S" which means satisfactory, is indeed a good level, it means you children are learning properly and are achieving satisfactory progress.
If your children get an "N" it means that there is a need to improve maybe work harder in class, dedicate more time to learn the vocabulary or pay more attention to the class, it does not mean that they are failing or not learning.
If you want to reinforce at home there are different things you can try:
* You can set the movies they watch in Spanish with or without subtitles in English.
* You can obtain audiobooks in Spanish through scholastic or public library.
* You can get picture dictionaries or books to read in Spanish according to their level.
* You can obtain Spanish software for your computers through:
www.jumpstar.com
www.eurotalk.com
www.byki.com
or any store that sells software for children.
* You can access the games in the web pages we have for our classes.The Web pages are:
They do not need password to access these games the password is only for quizzes.
If you have any questions rewarding the Spanish program, the activities in the classroom or would like to meet for a conference you can send me a note through this section.
Sincerely,
Dulce M. Juarez
