SO WHICH SPANISH LEVEL SHOULD A STUDENT BE AT NOW? Intermediate low Speaker can say sentences, carry on conversation, asking original questions, etc. Intermediate Low demonstrates Intermediate proficiency all of the time but BARELY. They struggle to do it. Novice High Speaker can sometimes respond in intelligible sentences, but will not be able to sustain sentence-level discourse. Novice High Speaker are able to express personal meaning by relying heavily on learned phrases or recombinations of these. Their language consists primarily of short and sometimes incomplete sentences in the present tense,

COMMON CONCERNS OF PARENTS How can I keep up with my student’s progress in Spanish class? Check their planbook daily. I have prepared a calendar with all outside assignments, quiz dates and project due dates. Please be proactive and check the calendar on a daily basis to make sure that your student has the work prepared for the following day. If you wait to get a progress report from me, it is too late for late work to be turned in.

 My child says that they don’t understand because you speak in Spanish all of the time. Students need to watch me as I am speaking. I will use gestures, pictures, charts, cognates, etc. to reinforce what I am saying and what they need to say in certain situations. You taught them English that way, but they were too young to remember.  Is there any extra credit available? In order to receive extra credit, students need to be caught up with daily practice assignments and projects. Then Teacher decides about extra credit.
