                     Welcome students, parents, and colleagues to my virtual Spanish classroom.

In addition, there is a variety of fun and interesting information about Spanish & Hispanic culture.

  1. Bullet THE COURSE: In the seventh and eighth grades, Spanish is a daily elective. Students who enroll in 7th grade Spanish are expected to continue in the 8th grade. The curriculum covered during these two years is equivalent to the first year of high school Spanish, and generally speaking, students who successfully complete both years of instruction with at least a “B” average are recommended for Spanish II in high school. As such, this class is graded on an academic basis equal to Core, Math, and Science. The goals of the class are to achieve basic communication skills in Spanish and gain an appreciation of Hispanic cultures.


  1. Bullet THE CLASS consists of the following:

  2. Oral Activities (Class Participation)

  3. Written Activities:

  4. -"Diario" - notes in spiral notebook

  5. -"Cuaderno" - workbook

  6. -“En Uso” - open-book test

  7. Textbook (one to be kept at home)

  8. “Take-Home Tutor” CD (to be used for studying at home)

  9. Regular Homework ("Cuaderno", online activities, final project work)

  10. Quizzes

  11. Authentic Final Assessment projects (one per "Etapa" - section) - Go to the Mi Manera & Proyectos pages for an example and more information.


  1. Bullet THE HOMEWORK for Spanish is above and beyond the weekly allotment of time for Core subjects so students should be capable of managing this additional academic load. Homework is posted here on the “Tarea” page and reviewed on Mondays at the beginning of class. Students are responsible for checking the posted homework daily and keeping track of assignments and due dates. 


GRADES: PowerSchool- Grades will be posted for your review in PowerSchool at the end of each Etapa (section) -- about every 3 1/2 weeks.
LATE/MISSED WORK: Students must arrange to make up all work missed due to absences. Work turned in one day late - loss of one letter grade; more than one day late - not accepted!

1. Arrive on time & prepared for class.
