¿Qué pasa en la clase de español?

It's hard to believe that the last quarter of the school year is already here.  The students have been hard at work every week and are learning so much.  It is International Week here at Grange Hall and many people are scheduled to visit their child's classroom this week and next to celebrate the diverse group of families we have here at our school.  It's never too late to schedule a visit.  Contact me at michelle_melara@ccpsnet.net if you want to schedule a visit of your own. 

Las Mariposas Monarcas with Symbolic Migration have arrived.  The butterflies arrived a week or so ago and began going home with 3rd graders last week.  We received symbolic butterflies from all over the United States and Canada.  The students enjoyed getting back a butterfly from other students around the continent. 

In the next week or so 5th graders will be receiving their final pen pal letter from students at Harrowgate Elementary School.  This has been a rewarding opportunity for our students and theirs to practice using their written Spanish.  We can't wait to get those letters and finally get to see our pen pals as pictures will be included in this last letter.  I want to thank Mrs. Amy Miller from Harrowgate Elementary School for helping me to organize and plan this program.

It's a couple of weeks late but I wanted to share the curriculum for what is being taught this 9 weeks in Spanish class.  Please click on the grade level for your child and it will take you to the ¿Qué pasa? newsletter to let you know what is happening in Spanish class for that grade level.

I just wanted to check in to show off some work done by some of the 5th graders. They have done a fantastic job all year with their writing and speaking in Spanish. This is a video of a rap song created by two students. They are very talented girls.
