Lots of exciting work!

¡Hola familias!
I am very pleased with how our students have started off the school year in Spanish class!  We're working on some very exciting projects and students' enthusiasm and quality of work has been impressive.
Last week I introduced students to Google Voice which will allow me to assess their speaking ability outside of the classroom.  Our first assignment was simple: call the Google Voice number and leave me a message in Spanish telling me about something they were doing over the weekend.  This is something that we will do occasionally through out the year with different prompts or questions for students to answer.
We also just completed a PhotoStory3 project in which students created a video about their lives narrated entirely in Spanish.  I asked students to share these with you, so if you haven't received an email with the link to your student's video, ask them again!  The videos are great and I really think you'll enjoy seeing it!
If you haven't yet, please take a moment to subscribe to this blog.  There is a link at the bottom of the page that says "subscribe by email."  It will be a great way for you to hear about what we're up to in Spanish class this year.

¡Gracias!
