PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
 
Mrs. Mery says: Extra Practice = Extra Credit = Extra Knowledge = Extra Pesos                                                       
Students will be given extra credit opportunities throughout the year.  I highly encourage the extra practice as it provides a way for your child to enhance his or her Spanish learning at home at his and her own pace. 
 
1) Extra Credit opportunities on my webpage and in class: Students can print one off my webpage when available.  Sometimes I will have extra credit sheets in my classroom.  However, I will make copies only when necessary in order to remain environmentally friendly.
2) Extra Credit games and activities on my webpage: Students can explore some fun Spanish websites and games.  Just send me a note with your child's name and teacher's name along with the name of the game/activity he or she played.
3) Extra Credit opportunities through real life situations: Students can practice speaking or even singing in Spanish at home, at a restaurant, at the store, with friends and family, etc.
 
Happy Practice!!!!

WHAT IN THE WORLD?
3rd year 
On Mondays, a cultural, geographical, historical or current event question will be given on the morning announcements.  Students in Kindergarten through 5th grade can participate by putting their answers in the proper basket in the Spanish room no later than Thursday at 3:00.  Don't forget to include your name and teacher's name!
 
On Fridays during specials, one name per grade level will be drawn for a small prize.  This will only be available while Spanish is at DOVE (1st and 3rd nine weeks). 
 
Teachers and staff are also encouraged to participate.  :o)
Happy learning!
