Dear students and families,
First of all, I just want to say stay safe and try to make the best of this situation. I know we are all dealing with at least some level of disappointment; so sorry our field trips and CIMI were cancelled and I am sure there are many other things in our personal lives that may be on hold.
Parents, the last couple of weeks were filled with uncertainty, but I feel so lucky to work with you all and I want you to know that thanks to you we had plenty of hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and facial tissue throughout the last couple of weeks!
I am sure you are getting all kinds of emails and messages, but for me please join the appropriate class on google classroom. They are brand new, there is no work assigned yet, but please check daily from Mon-Fri March 16-20, 2020.
Also, if you do not have a copy of the class textbook in Spanish, please get one from my classroom tomorrow.
Codes to join your class/classes.

I will have a little extra time with periods 2/3 and 4/5 due to the fact that I have your students for two periods. This means that we will probably end a little early and there might be a couple of minutes for general questions. However, please keep in mind these are not parent teacher conferences and I will not be able to respond to student specific questions. I'd be happy to schedule appointment though. Also, here's my email: [email protected], please do not hesitate to reach out to me. :)
Also, as you know we are starting our independent reading soon (SLA classes) and I wanted to ask all families to look in their home libraries for any books in Spanish they do not use anymore, I am thinking we can improve our class library this way. (Please do not go out and buy new ones)

Dear all,
I hope your first week of school went well!
Your homework:
1. Tell your parents about Ms. Hernandez Avalos and write down two questions you have after reading her introduction letter.
2. Find your required materials and bring them to school on Monday, as much as possible.
3. Select one of the introduction assignments and complete it by Monday.
A. Create a pop-up project about yourself. Draw yourself in the little person-shaped cut-out, draw something interesting about yourself, or paste a cool picture in the center box, write four short descriptions about your life in the provided spaces.
B. Do a collage about your summer vacation. It can be all images or all words or a combination.
C. Do a timeline about your life. Select 8 important events about your life and put them in chronological order. Illustrate each in the bigger rectangle and write a short description underneath it.
D. Write an introduction letter. Tell me about what makes you, you!
This is your first assignment. Be creative. Give it your very best.
To get complete credit, you need to do it to the best of your ability, in Spanish (if there's writing) and neatly. If you do not like the template I gave you OR if you "mess up" you can create your own template (digitally or by hand).
