New Blog

This is my new blog for all my foreign language students. I hope to use it to enrich your studies and make learning lots of fun.

Today was a good day- we were busy in Spanish I with taking some quizzes and getting ready for Term III. We will be having a Spanish culture day in February, so keep those participation grades up!

In French today we had a cultural celebration and it was great. Kids brought in food to share, we enjoyed some music from Haiti in Creole and French, and we watched some French videos.

Homework was assigned in Spanish I only today- study diary assignments will be due one 2/4/10- they should be completed for 1/21, 1/25, 1/27, 1/29, and 2/2. (Dates will be moved forward one day if we have inclement weather tomorrow.)
