Online Resources
Helpful Web Links
The following websites are excellent resources to use at home. Please do not use Google Translate or any other translation site. They are not good resources and will not help you to learn the material necessary to be successful in Spanish class.
The use of electronic or on-line translators of any kind is equal to having someone else do your work for you and, therefore, cheating. Using these translators for homework, classwork, or projects is not appropriate or acceptable and will result in a loss of credit for the assignment. Use the knowledge and skills you have learned in class to do your work. Don't make it more complicated than it has to be. You will not be able to say all the same things in Spanish that you can in English. That's OK! Focus on the vocabulary and grammar that we are learning and if you need extra help, just ask.
For class announcements:
Text your class code to 81010.

Your parents can sign up too. I use Remind to post homework, Word documents, pictures, announcements, etc. You can also use the chat feature to ask me a question. I cannot see your personal information.
