Transitioning to SCPS ClassroomHola. Some of you at one point or another may be joining or returning to a Seminole County Public Schools Spanish classroom. I want to help make the transition as smooth as possible by providing you with some resources, tips, and suggestions.
While there are key concepts and vocabulary in all Spanish 2 programs, the order that these concepts are presented and the vocabulary chosen is different from program to program. You would have the same challenges if you moved from Volusia or Orange County where they use different textbooks than we use in Seminole County. For example, ALL Spanish 2 programs focus on the past tenses. However, the vocabulary that is given is different from course to course. Even though the vocabulary will be different and the grammar in a different order and context, if you complete Spanish 2 segment 1 correctly you will have a successful transition to the brick and mortar classroom. When I say correctly this is what I mean: * You did not use your notes/vocabulary lists during any assessments and DBAs. *You MEMORIZED the module vocabulary and verb charts completely *You completed all module assignments *You asked for help if there were grammar concepts you did not understand. Some suggestions to make your transition smooth... *Set up a time to talk to your new Spanish teacher. Show him or her your SCVS binder with your notes, vocabulary lists, and assignments. This will help your new teacher assess what you have learned in your SCVS class and where you will need extra help. *Print out the Vocabulary lists from the ¡Exprésate! chapters that your new class has already covered. MOST teachers in Seminole County cover chapters 1-4 first semester and 5-8 second semester. You should learn this new vocabulary and add it to the words you already know. You may be expected to use the new vocabulary on tests, quizzes and assignments. *Review your vocabulary from module 1-4. *Make sure you can conjugate ALL the verbs from module 1-4 without charts or notes *Review major grammar concepts like adjective/noun agreement, verb conjugation, definite and indefinite articles, etc. Please feel free to contact me or have your teacher contact me if you have any questions! Buena Suerte :-) Sra. Olah [email protected] OR [email protected] 407-602-8366 |
