Welcome to Spanish II and III! In these classes we will study the 5 C’s: Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Community. While we will spend some time learning the basics of Spanish grammar, we will also take time to explore the many places in the world where Spanish is spoken and the many different kinds of people who speak Spanish. We’ll learn to have fun and laugh together as we try to communicate in a new language. We’ll investigate how Spanish language and cultures connect to other subjects and compare them to what we already know about our own language and culture. Finally, we’ll look for ways to participate in cross-cultural activities within our own community.
