Spanish will be taught this semester through the social studies class.  Each class will receive one hour of Spanish instruction every 2 weeks.  Don’t worry- I will not be teaching this class.  Mrs. Smith, our Spanish teacher, will be teaching the class.  The Spanish grade will count as 10% of their social studies grade.  Each student will need to have a folder designated for Spanish instruction.  We are very excited about this opportunity for our students to learn a foreign language.
