Hope everyone has a great half day Friday and a great weekend.

This past week (third week of school), scholars were given a quiz.  Below are the questions given.

1.  ¿Cómo se llama? [What is your name?]

2.  ¿Cómo están? [How are you?]

3.  ¿Quien soy yo- estudiante o maestra? [Who am I- student or teacher?]

4.  ¿Cómo se llama ella? [What is her name?]

5.  ¿Cómo se llama él? [What is his name?]

6-10.  Scholars were asked to match these words with their corresponding pictures.

Buenas noches	Buenos dias	Buenas tardes
el	ella

Thank You! Ms. Delgadillo

Dear Parents,

After reviewing our expectations in Spanish, greeting in Spanish and common courtesies in Spanish, our first week of school was a success.  And yes, I only speak Spanish in our Spanish class.  As I mentioned in our Welcome Letter, the language of instruction will be Spanish, accompanied by visual, auditory, and appropriate instructional material.  I, not only intend to speak as much Spanish as possible with your scholar, but also provide the maximum number of repetitions with all of the vocabulary.  Your scholar will learn common phrases and vocabulary expressed within their daily routines at home, school and with friends; among other topics.

First week of school, we learned…

Las expectativas son: silencio, escuchar y mirar a la maestra. [The expectations are: silence, pay attention and eyes on the teacher.]

Spanish greeting: 
“Hola, yo me llamo…” [Hi, my name is…] 
“Tu como te llamas?”  [What is your name?]    
“Como se llama el/ ella?”  [What is his/ her name?] 
“El/ ella se llama…” [His/ her name is…]

Buenos dias. [Good morning.]

Buenas tardes. [Good afternoon.]

Buenas noches. [Good night.]

Por favor… [Please]

Gracias…  [Thank you…]

Thank you!  Feel free to review/ practice Spanish with your scholar.

¡Bienvenidos!

Dear Parents,

            Welcome to Archway Trivium East.  It is a great pleasure to teach your scholar in his or her quest to develop proficiency in the Spanish language.  Do you remember how much language your child took in before speaking his or her first words?  As one begins to acquire language, it is vital that he or she receives an immense amount of linguistic input.  My goal is to provide a Spanish immersion setting.  This means that the language of instruction will be Spanish, accompanied by visual, auditory, and appropriate instructional material.  I, not only intend to speak as much Spanish as possible with your scholar, but also provide the maximum number of repetitions with all of the vocabulary.  Some of the lessons/ topics include:

  animal names

  calendar terms

  clothing terms

  colors

  numbers

  family terms

  objects found in a classroom/ school

  objects found at home

  places/ locations

  weather terms

I look forward to educating your scholar for the lifelong pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty while immersing them in the Spanish language.  Feel free to visit our Spanish blog for lesson updates at ATESpanish.blogspot.com.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.  I am available via email, telephone or by appointment.

Thank you.
