Hi all, I have a Spanish 3/4/Native Speaker combo class (not new to me) but I'm wanting to do a better job meeting everyone's needs this next trimester. I'm going to have 1 day / week to work with specific groups and a couple days / week to work whole class and do team building sorts of activities and work with everyone's strengths and weaknesses. Right now I'm thinking: *Mondays*: Spanish 3 kiddos (or kiddos at this level NH/IL) who are still saying things like "Yo gusta" and "Yo tiene". Lots of convo "work" with immediate and positive feedback. *Tuesdays*: Whole Group *Wednesdays*: Spanish 4 kiddos (IL/IM) working on communicating appropriately in the past, present and future. Some of the NS kiddos will be in their group. *Thursdays*: Whole Group *Fridays*: NS kiddos working on reading, writing and common errors (i.e. hicistes) *My questions are* 1. Have you done anything like this? What worked / didn't work? 2. What would you have the groups I wasn't meeting with work on? How would you structure their time to be engaging and effective? (PS - I meet with this class for 35 minutes a day - not long!) 3. Reading / writing recommendations for any of the 3 levels? 4. Other thoughts? Thanks everyone and have a great Thanksgiving holiday!
