8th grade Conversational Spanish students must have a folder to keep materials in, (plus their journal), since they have no textbooks to take home. They must study their notes from class, along with handouts I give them.

English is taught in a supportive, multi-cultural format according to each student's needs and grade level. State-adopted textbooks, computer software, and picture flash cards are used to reinforce language and provide support in content area courses.

Students will obtain what they choose to invest in this subject. If they never study notes, or draw visual images of words, and see the visuals, they will forget the language learned soon. They have been told to study their notes every night for success. It helps if they watch the news in Spanish on Spanish TV stations, or hear Spanish on the radio if these opportunities are available. For homework, all students are expected to study 10-15 minutes each night. Extra assignments will be written in their daily journals which include their name, the date, weather, topic and cognates studied, along with certain vocabulary and pictures drawn from the overhead or flashcards. Encourage them to practice these words with you or show you their daily journal.
