A teacher friend of mine showed me another NEW way to communicate with my students; via text messaging or emails.  The app is called REMIND.  IF you have an unlimited texting plan on your phone please sign up OR when you receive your Lincoln Public School email address (coming soon) please sign up at that time. I will be sending this to your parents' emails as well so that they can receive REMIND messages too.  These messages will NOT be for homework - it will be just what the name says - reminders.  I will use it to send study reminders.  Click on the live link to sign up for my Spanish I REMIND 

Tonight's homework: study for your alfabeto oral assessment on el 3 de septiembre.  Answer the following question we reviewed in class: ¿Adónde quieres ir en el mundo?  Write your answer on the same page as last night's homework and today's in class work.

While viewing the alfabeto video, write down, in the homework section of your binder, the SIX names that you see under the pictures of the famous Latin American heros while you listen and learn the Spanish alfabeto.  You may have to listen to it a few times - that's ok, it will only help you learn your alfabeto better.

Your ORAL assessment will be during class on Wednesday, September 3rd - start studying.

Bienvenidos.  This year our Spanish I class will consist of a full year, high school level class for the Spanish language, cultural experiences and projects.  This is the first post for the 2014-2015 school year at Lincoln Middle School.  There are a lot of past posts from last year's blog - as I don't want to change my blog address.

In the past, I have used schoolnotes, and last year I shifted to Blogger!   It worked very well and I'm again very excited and will continue to make it a tool that we will use in class.  We use this blog for daily homework assignments as well as activities.

We will be using a lot of technology in my class including videos and songs from YouTube.  This is an example of one of the videos we will see at the beginning of class this year:

I hope you enjoy this year and your first experience with Spanish.
