Great, se?or, Ricardo. I love your enthusiasm. I don't know how I could possibly teach Spanish 1 without the circle. My classes have: 48, 46 and 39 students. I have to eat lots of nuts and avocados to keep a good level of energy. But I've always like 9th graders and now I have loooots of them. As they say, be careful what you ask for.

Hello Everyone, My first day is complete! Granted, I didn't have Spanish 1 yet, but let me tell you that my Spanish 3 students ROCKED today! It is a beautiful thing when you don't have to push much for "solo espa?ol"! Granted, I did a little tiny bit, but for the most part, the students were staying in Spanish and communicating near the level at which they last tested. It is a fabulous day, though I am utterly exhausted. Ricardo Days Activities 1. P?same/T? quieres? Game 2. SMOOSH 3. Correr y Saltar (just physical, no language) 4. Wrote vocab on the vocab list and pulled topics from the vocab and created question hook sequences to use for the middle part of the class. ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
