Spanish - Jamie Card
Hola! ¡Bienvenido a mi página

(Hello! Welcome to my web page!)
Spanish will be an invigorating class this year!
We have a lot of information to cover. This year we will be focusing
on our oral proficiency with the Spanish language. In other words,
we will be focusing on the student’s ability to speak the
language in various settings. I believe that every child can learn
to speak a foreign language and will achieve his/her fullest potential
throughout the school year.
The curriculum is based on the New Hampshire SAU#29
World Language Curriculum. Additionally, our focus will be on
the 5 C’s of foreign language, which are part of the national
standards for foreign language. These will be our focus for the
school year. We will be studying each standard through speaking
Spanish as much as possible. The 5 C’s include;
- Communication
- Communities
- Cultures
- Comparisons
- Connections
To focus on oral proficiency, we will be doing
numerous skits, role playing, and games. Interaction in the target
language will be a key concept. I am eager to introduce you to
Hispanic music, dance, and food as well.
All classes will be assessed through class participation,
(attendance, notebook checks, worksheets, oral drills), homework,
oral/written quizzes, projects, and oral/ written tests.
I look forward to learning all about my students
this coming school year as we study Spanish. The more we study
other cultures the more we learn about our own.
I have attached some links that will help
you through the school year;
