WELCOME TO 6TH GRADE SPANISH!

OVERVIEW

6th Grade Spanish will be fun!  You should be hearing your child speaking Spanish at home already.  In Spanish class we have weekly conversations that are memorized and added to the following week.  By the end of the semester, students will know how to greet each other, ask and tell about names, country of origin, and likes/dislikes.  They will also be able to describe their own personality, appearance, and clothing as well as that of others.  Finally, they will be able to converse about their family and their school.

Speaking Spanish is a skill so important to your child's future ability to find jobs, travel, and get along. I hope your child enjoys this class and leaves wanting to learn more.
