Señora's Spanish Class

Bienvenidos a la clase de la Senora Ramos en Septiembre  2013

Welcome to our fun and exciting Spanish classes at St. James. I will be teaching third to sixth grade. Como estan? All students will be taught and encouraged to greet each other in Spanish by using the expressions of greetings and courtesy words. Short conversations in Spanish using the 7 key questions(what, when, where, how, why, who and how much) will be done weekly in class. Que, como, por que, quien, cuando, cuanto, donde)...

My main goal is to teach the language, the culture of Spanish-speaking countries, and mainly for the children to enjoy learning Spanish. It's very interesting to teach the culture and to embrace our common similarities. The children will be encouraged to practice Spanish at home and in their community. We will have many projects throughout the school year on celebrations from Spanish-speaking countries:

Hispanic Heritage Month  - Sept. 15 - Oct. 15th.
Day of the Dead
Country Reports (Each child in 6th grade will be assigned a country for the year).
La Navidad (Christmas)
Three Kings Day (January)

THIRD GRADE

Third graders will be practicing greeting dialogues with classmate and  expressions of courtesy.  Soon they will be learning the alphabets and will be able to spell their names in Spanish.

FOURTH GRADE

Fourth graders will have a book this year, "Hola". The first few classes they will be reviewing greetings and expressions of courtesy. They will also practice different dialogues in class.  
In Unit I, they will review classroom objects, more greetings and numbers.
Homework will be assigned weekly.  They will get an outline with their homework. 

FIFTH GRADE

Fifth graders will have Spanish on Monday and Wednesday. They will have homework on both days.  In Fifth Grade they will be reviewing many of the vocabulary words introduced in fourth grade. The fifth grade book is, Que Tal. We will also continue to practice greetings and expressions of courtesy.

Unit I will cover body parts...is a fun unit. Making a poster of the body parts will be their first project.

SIXTH GRADE

Sixth graders will have classes on Monday and Wednesday.  They will have homework on both days. The book for sixth graders is, Adelante.   Adelante means going forward. Basically, they will learn useful vocabulary for traveling and many other expressions. Is a great book. Sixth graders will be assigned a Spanish-speaking country for the year. They will be working on different projects. The first project is a poster report on their assigned country. The report will be part of Hispanic Heritage Celebration. In class they will continue to practice expressions of courtesy and greetings. Each students will continue to properly introduced themselves and respond to greetings in Spanish.
