Jody - we are on the same wave length! Your subject heading articulates exactly how I'm feeling right now! I say keep anything that has been really effective and engaging, you can always put the instructions in Spanish. Toss anything kids can easily do on-line (like at http://www.colby.edu/~bknelson/SLC/index.php) ie. grammar review and worksheets.

I am having a bit of a recycling/tossing dilemma: I have years of my own others' work in 4 tall filing cabinets and am hoping for some helpful clarification and for you all to tell me to TOSS IT if 1) It has instructions in English 2) Is grammar based 3) is worksheets from text days. (I haven't used a text book in 6 yrs.) 4) It is vocab sheets or I am thinking about keeping it if 1) It can be used for HW or absence make-up and has cultural or review value 2) It can be used for review when there is a sub. etc. Thanks for your input!!
