Welcome back to the Spanish class! I hope that you all had a wonderful verano (summer), and I am looking forward to working with you this year. Le envio un saludo especial a los estudiantes nuevos (I  send a special greeting to the new students).

 

I hope to make Spanish a time when we at the Dorset school will have fun, within the framework of a respectful learning environment. We will explore the Spanish language through different activities, games, and projects, as well as some of the traditions and cultural heritage of the Spanish speaking countries.

This year we have new topics to learn at each grade level, from learning to dance the Mexican dance called " La Raspa" in the 1st grade, to learning about Latin American heroes in 5th grade, to a more academic focus in 8th grade to prepare for a better transition to BBA.

 

For los padres (the parents), I send you my best wishes, and hope to get to meet you at our upcoming open house.

 

Con mis mejores deseos,

 

Se despide,

 

Diego Uribe.
