Septiembre 2018: Welcome! Fresh start to a new school year, 2018-19. This year the theme for my classes is EXPLORAMOS EL MUNDO. I designed a digital logo for the year and all students will start the year with this badge. We'll work towards earning more language and culture badges, all while learning Spanish.
