sbernstein@lakelandschools.org Teacher of Spanish, Grades 7 and 8

¡Bienvenidos a la clase de español!

Welcome to Spanish Class! I'm looking forward to a great year together.

Here's a great site with suggestions on how to help you study a foreign language:

For this class, I recommend you have the following:

• One section in your binder (the binder can be shared with other subjects but please have one section dedicated to papers from Spanish class)
• RECOMMENDED but not required: SIX two-pocket folders with fasteners, one for each chapter. During Back to School sales they are only 50 cents each at Staples (similar prices at other retailers including Walmart) but often much more expensive later in the year, so I recommend you purchase extra now. I will be happy to store your extras in my closet until they are needed.
• Adequate supply of loose-leaf paper
• Writing utensils (I prefer blue or black ink)
• You DO NOT need to bring a Spanish-English dictionary to class.

NEW FOR 7TH GRADE -

I will be implementing an Interactive Notebook in class this year. I STRONGLY recommend purchasing TWO MARBLE COMPOSITION BOOKS, as I estimate we will need a second one during later in the year. The notebooks are only fifty cents each at Staples (and other retailers) during the Back to School sales but often $2 later in the year, so I recommend you purchase extra NOW. I will be happy to store one in my closet for you until it is needed.
