Nuestra Seņora de Guadelupe

December 12th

 

In December we celebrate La Virgen de Guadelupe or Nuestra Seņora de GuadelupeNuestra Seņora de Guadelupe is a strong symbol of faith in Mexico and represents the tie between indigenous culture and Catholicism.  While some of us may celebrate Nuestra Seņora de Guadelupe once a year, she is part of a daily celebration of faith for many.

 

6th Graders

6th graders are writing about animals and themselves.  We will be completing a short writing project in the next couple of weeks.

 

7th Graders

7th graders are coming close to the end of Unit 1.  A study guide will be going home before the unit test.

 

8th Graders

8th graders are moving on to Unit 2 in the textbook.  Students should expect Spanish to be more of a challenge as we are moving into new material.

 

GRADE LOGS:

7TH & 8TH graders have yellow grade logs.  They should be keeping track of their grades and bringing grade logs home to be signed on occasion.

 

TEXTBOOKS:

If your child accidentally brings home a Spanish textbook, please be sure to send it back right away.  We have just the right number and do not want to be short.

 

 

My goals for all students are as follows:

-                     to practice faith through prayer in Spanish

-                     to teach students skills which will allow them to express themselves as individuals in the Spanish language

-                     to provide an awareness of, understanding of & respect for the diverse cultures in the Spanish speaking world

-                     to prepare students for success in high school and in the global world beyond high school
