Good Morning STS friends!

Welcome to week # 3 of Remote learning,  I hope today's blog finds you all doing well and that you and your families are healthy.  One thing is for sure I miss the kids!  My day is not the same without seeing their faces, playing ''pasa la bola'', singing our Spanish songs and sharing some Skittles with them.

I want to apologize to my third and forth graders, I am aware that some of you couldn't access the virtual lesson I planned.  If that happens again, try to go in abcya Spanish bingo or world toss so you can practice vocabulary.

I want to share some exciting news!! STS has created and IXL account for me to share with my students.  We will be using this great tool to reinforced our lessons by interactive questions, vivid visuals and step by step explanations, all to engage and inspire the students.

To access,you can use the same login and passwords that you have for the other subjects, Spanish will be right next to Social Studies.

Bellow you will find Spanish work for the Week of March 30 - April 3.

Hello Saint Therese families,

I hope this letter finds you well during these less than ideal times we are facing.  I truly miss my students already and it is only day 1 !

I wanted to reach out to you to inform you Spanish instruction will continue as best it can remotely.

Bellow you will find some of the resources by grade we will be using:

1. Middle school (6 7 and 8 grades) will use Google Classroom for communication and assignments.  For this week the students got worksheets, if they have any questions about them please don't hesitate to reach out.

2.  Second, Third and Fourth grades can use the links we use in the classroom to practice vocabulary.

Links are:

3. I will set up some online games like Gimkit or Quizizz so kids can join and have some fun learning and practicing the language.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me throughout this experience if you have any questions.

Have a nice day!!
