¡Hola a todos!
I just wanted to remind los alumnos (the students) that next week, we will be having folder/binder checks in both the 5th and 6th grade class, and the 7th and 8th grade class. I do these checks because, instead of using just one book, we are using a variety of materials and keeping them organized to make a book for ourselves and show our progress. This means that it is very important that students keep every handout they are given in class, and keep them in the order written in their Folder Organizer (first page of their folder) so that they can find information when they need it.
In the folder check, I'll be looking for the following things:
- Does the student have his/her Folder Organizer up to date? (Both classes should have up to #7 filled in).
- Does the student have all of the worksheets/handouts listed in the Folder Organizer?
- Are the worksheets in the right order?
- Has the student been filling in their Caja de Herramientas (Toolbox) with vocabulary and phrases that we've learned in class?
- For 7th and 8th grade: has the student been doing the daily warmup exercises?
Padres (parents), you may want to check with your child to make sure he or she has these things done.
In the 7th and 8th grade class (because we have the Smart board in their classroom), I introduced a BBC on-line, interactive video for language learning on Thursday. The name of the series is Mi Vida Loca. As you might be able to tell from the name, it's a drama. From what I've seen, it's a great, entertaining way to practice Spanish and learn about Spanish culture. Feel free to check it out!
