The Spanish Take-Home Tutor CD-ROM provides at-home practice for greater success.  It includes video clips, audio recordings and flashcards to reinforce listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.  Self-check exercises provide immediate feedback.  Recommended level MIDDLE SCHOOL and LEVEL 1.  Order information: www.mcdougallittell.com or 1-800-462-6595.  

SPANISH WORKBOOK

 

Students will have the opportunity to purchase the Spanish workbook Más Práctica which supplements our textbook, En Español for $1.75 (price subject to change based on warehouse pricing).  The workbook will be used for two years, Spanish 1A (7th grade) and Spanish 1B (8th grade), and will serve as a great resource for high school.  More information coming soon!

SCHOLASTIC CLUB LEO

The best gift any parent can give a child is the love of good books and the joy and benefits of good reading. Children who read at home, or are read to, have a head start on reading success in school.

 

Our class is participating in Scholastic's Spanish Club Leo Book Club this year. Each month during the school year I will send home a Club flyer with a different selection of Spanish books offered. You’ll find award-winning books, as well as old and new favorites. I recommend them because the books span a wide range of children’s reading levels and interests and because they are inexpensive (some books cost less than $1).

 

Look for the first Club Leo catalog coming home soon!
