We will begin 8th grade with Unit 5, Fiesta en Familia, which will revolve around the theme of families and celebrations. Students will learn to talk about family members, birthday parties, and simple restaurant phrases. We will end the year with Unit 6, La Casa, where students will be able to describe their houses and chores. Students will be able to test out of Spanish 1 and continue in Spanish 2 in high school. This test is offered in March. Students who plan to test out should enroll in the Spanish Booster class offered second semester, where we will review material for the test.
