Students did a nice job on their Spanish final today.  I’m proud that we were able to cover many Spanish units as a result of studying two previous Romance languages, French and Italian.  Students covered:

Courtesies and Greetings, Numbers, Classroom commands and objects, geography, weather, calendar, food and tableware, music, art, and literature!  Students have a wonderful foundation for continuation of their studies next year.

It has been a wonderful year with these grade 6 students.  I look forward to teaching many again for seventh grade language arts.

If interested in continued study this summer, I recommend Berlitz Rush Hour program available at both Barnes and Noble and Borders.  Also available are audio programs by Barron’s which are also quite good!  Many communities offer programs in various languages at great prices! 

Have a great summer! Be safe!
