Overview of 7th Grade Spanish

Seventh Grade Spanish at HMS is the beginning of a two–year sequence that, combined with Eighth Grade Spanish at HMS, is equivalent to Level 1 Spanish at YHS.  While the focus for the year is on Spain, we will also learn about other hispanic countries.  We'll enjoy getting to know the products and practices of the hispanic world through their cultural traditions. 

Students are asked to be prepared each day for class by completing their assigned homework and bringing with them to class their organized Spanish binder, laptop, writing tools such as a pen, pencils and highlighter as headphones or earbuds, and a filled water bottle if desired.
