Hola familias - Hello families!
I am back after a wonderful extended maternity leave with my baby, Fiona. I really enjoyed having time at home with her, and now I'm excited to be back in my classroom with all of the rest of my kids :).
There are some important items of business that we need to attend to now that I'm back. First, please make sure to follow to this blog as it will serve as an important means of communication for the rest of the school year. Simply enter your email address in the box on the right hand column of this page. I promise not to flood your inbox with unnecessary emails, but I wouldn't want to you miss anything important or fun - especially the pictures that I take of our Spanish students! Also,
feel free to check out my class website that has lots of wonderful resources
for students: www.senoratiernanfisher.weebly.com
Next, please check in with your student and make sure they've set up accounts with CloudK12 (in my name and not the substitute's name) and www.conjuguemos.com. These will be critical tools that we will use for the remainder of the year and I want to make sure everyone is ready to go and doesn't get behind on assignments.
A quick note on www.conjuguemos.com - this is a wonderful practice website that I frequently use to assign homework. Since learning a language requires A LOT of practice and repetition, I have found this website invaluable in providing quick, easy practice sessions with instant feedback. Students must submit a given assignment on the date it is due, but they are ALWAYS welcome to repeat the assignment for more practice and I will take the highest score that they send me!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to a successful 2014 in Spanish class!
