Dear Parents:

Welcome to the Spanish class! ¡ Bienvenidos a la clase de español!

My goal is that the children not only acquire the language but that they feel comfortable to start using it on simple sentences that will allow them to communicate among each other in Spanish. What is the use of knowing a language if you cannot use it to communicate?

Please encourage your children to practice the vocabulary they learn at school, by asking them to teach you at least three words every day. Languages are like instruments, children really need to practice and use them as much as possible.

We send a progress based on individual growth, and together with conduct, a grade is entered weekly on Grade Speed, so please take the time to check how your child is doing in his (her) language class.

We will continue using an I Pad language lab. This should be a powerful tool to improve your children listening and oral skills, as well as a reinforcement for the written component.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, my e-mail address is aguzmand@houstonisd.org.

 I am looking forward to a successful year! Sincerely; Mrs. Adriana Guzman de Myers
