introduction to Spanish which includes basic conversational expressions,
numbers and time, weather, the alphabet, and more.From there, we move into vocabulary,
grammar, and culturally-based units which cover topics such as:self-description, things you like to do,
school/classes/supplies, food, places you go, and more.We begin speaking, reading, writing and
listening to the language in a meaningful yet simple context, and will
continue to develop these skills over the course of the year.

Exploration- 5th
Grade: Welcome to Jefferson, new 5th graders!
Exploration is a 9-week rotation class,
which alternates with gym class (A-B days). In this class, we ‘explore’
history, culture, literature, and a small bit of language of the
Spanish/Hispanic worlds.This is a
class in English, and no Spanish-speaking background is necessary.While learning about the various topics,
students will relate those learning areas to their own experiences living
in Eastern Tennessee and elsewhere.Most activities/work will be completed in class, with time outside
of class to finish if needed.It is
important that all work be completed and turned in to receive maximum
points.Let’s explore!
Exploration:
week1-4 June
1.Finish Don Quixote

Homework:
Most work
completed in class.If you do not complete
it during class time, be sure to turn it in to receive credit.
