!Bienvenidos!
!Hola! I am excited to welcome you to a fun and challenging
year in Spanish II at MCHS. There will be some di"cult turns
in the road, but know that there is always help available. Be
smart about your work habits, stay organized, ask questions,
and have fun with Spanish!
Course Description:
In this class, we will learn the Spanish language and culture
through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In addition
to using the Exprsate textbook, we will read other short
stories and engage in active and social learning in class. Every
day you will have the opportunity to practice speaking Spanish
to increase uency and retention of the material. Mistakes are
a natural part of the learning process, and by correcting your
errors, you will improve your Spanish. Remember to pay
attention in class and do the practices that are assigned,
because the more you practice, the quicker you will learn.
Classroom Expectations:
Arrive on time and ready to learn!
Be respectful and honest.
Take responsibility of your actions.
Pay attention, participate, and ask questions.
Dont have side conversations when someone else is
speaking.
