=Pagina de la Sra. Araque- Note:For the Academic 2013-2014 I am not using this page to post homework or test dates. I am only using this page to access resources.= = Bienvenidos! = Welcome to our class page. Here I will post our weekly agendas (which may change from time to time), homework, test and quiz schedules, and other important announcements. I will also upload important documents at the bottom of the page. In order to be able to view all videos and resources, this page needs to be visited using any computer off campus.

I look forward to working with you this year, and helping you develop skills in Spanish. The vocabulary and grammar that we learn will be used to develop the four main language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is very important that you participate in class and practice your Spanish skills as much as you can. You will be required to speak Spanish as much as possible during class time.

=what can parents do? =

Parents are a key factor in making homework and studying a positive experience. Please ask your child if he or she is experiencing difficulty, and if so, please have your child come for extra help. Additionally, feel free to contact me if you would like an update on your child’s progress.

**Homework and learning activities**

Homework accomplishes several goals: It helps the student develop organizational and time management skills; it also helps me evaluate the progress of the class as well as the individual student. But, most importantly, it provides each student with the opportunity to practice and to reinforce the day’s lesson. One of the most important things in learning a language is practice.

Learning activities are suggested ways for students to study different topics at home in order to master a topic faster. Learning activities are not mandatory, therefore they are not graded. However, completing learning activities will have a positive effect on the student performance when assessing a particular topic.

=Need Help? =
 * Come to tutorials available twice a week (T & T) from 8:15 to 8:45 AM, or at lunch time every day, by appointment. See me for a pass.
 * Use resources available in this page to review concepts.

=Recommendations for success: =

=Open house PPP= =Interesting links: =
 * Study everyday, Spanish learning requires mastering a concept before moving to the next one.
 * Use flash cards to learn new vocabulary.
 * Use the resources provided for each unit to revisit topics at home.
 * Have fun learning a second language!
