Our main focus this year is COMMUNICATION!! We need to have our students using all the amazing Spanish they already know! We are continuing with our daily Spanish Enrichment time at home! ALL students are to practice Spanish EVERYDAY!! This is necessary if we want our students to actually begin using the language! Yes, even on the weekends! This should not be a burden but rather a FUN time for kids to be exposed to the language!
They can do many things for their Spanish Enrichment time.
Some of the things they can do are:
- Spanish Enrichment @ home is to be done EVERYDAY for 15 minutes a day (5th) and 20 minutes a day for the rest of the grades. Students will keep a log of their time and what they do. There are many activities students can do to practice their Spanish, for example:
- Watch TV in Spanish
- Hulu and Netflix can be changed to Spanish voice (not all shows do this)
- Duolingo
- Listen to a Spanish radio station
- Listen to Spanish music on Pandora, some radio stations to look for:
- Baladas
- Rancheras
- Cumbias
- Mariachi Fiesta
- Pop Latino
- Anything that exposes them to the Spanish language!
We can have our students using Spanish for everyday scenarios, but if they do not practice DAILY.... it might not happen! I NEED YOU! You, THE PARENTS/GUARDIANS to help me out! We can do this! We can have our kiddos using Spanish, but it is not going to happen if WE don't work together!
LET'S DO THIS WESTLAKE FAMILIES!!!
¡¡¡SI SE PUEDE!!!
WE CAN DO IT!!!
