Welcome to the first week of school

Welcome to Spanish 5-6!  You guys are beyond the two years required for high school graduation ... congratulations!  We will be working on Spanish proficiency a lot this year:  reading, writing, speaking and listening.  You will also begin talking about some real world situations, like going to the doctor and environmental issues.  This class is taught in Spanish.  Remember that it is not important to understand every single word, but rather get the gist of things. You are expected to speak only in Spanish while in my class.  Although this may sound intimidating, I guarantee that it is the most useful thing that you could do to improve your Spanish without going to another country and being forced to be immersed in it.  I look forward to this year with all of you!
