5th Grade Quizlet Q1

Hola!  I can't believe how quickly the first quarter has gone!  As we move forward, I have composed a set of Quizlet flashcards for the words we have worked on in the first quarter.  If your student is finding themselves wanting a little more practice with these words, this is the perfect opportunity.  There are flashcards and lots of fun games to play using the words.  (Gravity and Match are my favorite!)  Enjoy!

¡Hola!

Learn more about our Elementary Spanish program below.

We look forward to a great year with your child!

¡Bienvenidos!- Welcome

Welcome to Spanish at the Elementary School. This year our Spanish classes are taught by Señora Lisa Schauer, Señora Barb Danver, and Señorita Amy Giniewski.

• This is Señora Schauer’s 15^th year at IHES. She has taught Spanish for thirteen years and has also taught 5^th grade, 4^th grade Science, and technology at IHES. Señora Schauer teaches all 3 grade levels at the ES. She loves to read and spend time with her husband, their two children, and their two dogs.
• Señora Danver has taught 1st and 2nd grade Spanish at IHPS and some of our 4th grade classes at the ES for the past 4 years. She enjoys running, reading, spending time outdoors, and playing with her bulldog, Lucy.
• This is Señorita Giniewski's 2nd year at Indian Hill. She teaches 3rd and 5th grade Spanish and Spanish I at the High School. She likes to dance and rock climb.

We feel our students are incredibly fortunate to be exposed to a world language at a young age. As a department, our philosophy is that the best way to learn a world language is through continued opportunities to hear, see, and speak the language. For this reason, our classes are conducted 95% in Spanish. Emphasis is placed on comprehension and fostering the continued development of the four language skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). Our additional goals are to acquaint the children with another language, broaden their cultural awareness, and create an interest in world language study.

Please fill out the online Parent Contact survey by clicking here. Feel free to contact us at any time with any questions or concerns. We are looking forward to an exciting and successful year with your student!

Yo quiero tus opiniones

Quiero tus opiniones:  It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of the year already!  I'd like to see what you think about Spanish class.  I will use your ideas and answers as I plan next year for us.  The only person who will see your thoughts is me.  Please think through each question.
