I
am pleased to say that Spanish will be beginning soon for the 2006-2007 school
year! Classes will be held in the first
grade classroom. Children will have from
3:00-3:15 to eat a snack sent from home.
Spanish class will be from 3:15-4:30.
If your child has not taken Spanish class and is in first grade or
older, Beginning Spanish will be on Tuesday evenings. If your child has taken Spanish before, Advanced
Spanish will be on Thursday evenings. The
first class will begin on Tuesday, October 17th. If there is not school due to vacation or a
snowstorm, the effected Spanish class will be made up. Please see the attached sheet for Spanish
class dates. An outline of the
year’s Spanish curriculum can be found below.
Please note that this curriculum is tentative and subject to change due
to learning pace.
