AP expectations, reading to pre-schoolers and writing skits


 
Dr. Jacobson's AP students took the AP Spanish language and culture test this week!  Students clearly put forth their best efforts.  We have the highest expectations for outstanding results! 

Spanish 7-8 and 5-6 students read classical stories in Spanish to preschool students in the Childhood Development Center, located on campus.  We thank Mrs. Hillman and Mrs. Ledbedder for their hospitality and collaboration with all classes. Working as peer tutors provides Spanish language learners a wonderful opportunity to practice reading and speaking skills within a context of leadership roles.

Students have begun writing skits based on vocabulary related to careers and common scenarios in daily life presented in Dr. Jacobson's book Spanish Across America

Class activities and discussions continue to focus on expanding vocabulary, refining grammatical proficiency and improving critical thinking and writing skills in preparation for district final exams.
