Spanish 3 CP / H

The students in Spanish 3 all performed wonderfully on their summative assessment to close out unit 1. They are now moving forward in the curriculum by learning about places in the community and how to talk about things they have done in the past. They are continuing to develop skills for reading critically, writing for a purpose in the target language and the English language, and speaking and listening in the target language! Our speaking and writing focus this unit is related to the thematic vocabulary unit on places around town, and using the past tense.

Cultural Perspectives

The students in Cultural Perspectives are continuing to complete one unit per week. Recently students looked at how the people of Scandinavia and the British Isles live today. This week students are learning about the peoples of Eastern Europe and a community of Romanians known as "Gypsies" who have dispersed throughout Europe. Next week begins their final unit which is on the Russia today!
