Señor Sachem: Parent Forum and Blog Post: January 2015

Welcome to the start of 2nd semester! My name is Sean Kinney and this semester I will be teaching your child in either Cultural Perspectives or Spanish 3 CP/H.  Every month I will update my blog to reflect the learning that is taking place in each class in the most recent unit. I also hope to share additional blog posts throughout the semester with information about some of our outstanding class experiences, national foreign language week, and honor society news!


Spanish 3 CP / H

The students in Spanish 3 are learning about jobs and professions as well as rooms, furniture, and chores in a house. They are developing a skill set to talk about these vocabulary units both in the present and past tense. Students in level three will be participating in a culture research project of a South American Spanish speaking country of their choosing.

Cultural Perspectives

The students in Cultural Perspectives are completing a unit that provides historical context for studying culture. Students will study the evolutionary timeline of our ancestors and determine when culture began, and what the implications of early culture were for the development of the first communities, cities, and early human empires.
