Dear Family,

 

We are beginning to study Unidad 5, Etapa 3 of ¡En español! It

focuses on authentic culture and real-life communication using

Spanish in Barcelona, Spain. It practices reading, writing, listening,

and speaking, and introduces students to culture typical of

Barcelona.

 

Through completing the activities, students will employ critical

thinking skills as they compare the Spanish language and the culture

of Barcelona with their own community. They will also connect to

other academic subjects, using their knowledge of Spanish to access

new information. In this etapa, students are learning to plan a party,

describe past activities, express extremes, and purchase food. They

are also learning about grammar— superlatives, regular preterite of

-ar verbs, and preterite of -car, -gar, -zar verbs.

 

Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns you might

have as your student practices the skills of reading, writing,

listening, and speaking in Spanish.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kacy Land
