Hola Darcy!!!
Gracias por las respuestas a todas nuestras preguntas:)
I have a question about the "Se Motivado" (wich my dept is calling
"Cultural engagement"...do you have a list of ideas of things students can
do? how many units do they have to do?and where in their journal do
students do that?how do you grade them?etc...For my dept, we are making
this category 10% of their grade....Gracias!!
For all of you who were there when Sherman sang the Spanish song about the
days of the week, I am attaching a copy of the lyrics--I am sure Sherman
won't mind if we borrow it:) (sorry, my attachments are not working on
gmail right now--tried 10 times...I will send it later:(
Check out this youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moiW6QLw0w4

this year!!!
Thank you!
Antonio
