Materials, Syllabus, Procedures
Materials:
Please bring with you to class each day your dedicated Spanish notebook, a pen and pencil, your open mind and heart, willingness and courage! Some days you will be accessing your digital classroom or online resources (during which time you can use your own device or the school's laptops). It is great to have your resources stored either digitally OR in a physical binder. You are also required to bring with you our whole-group reading assignment on the days we will be discussing the material (see schedule below). Notes on the reading as well as classroom notes will be kept in your Spanish notebook. You may find it easiest and most organized to have a sectioned notebook, but this is not a hard requirement. Also, please bring a mug or insulated cup on Mondays for Café time if you would like to have some tea (and/or coffee).
