FOOD EXPERIENCES

Periodically samples of traditional food from Latin America are brought in for students to sample. Since this is not funded by the school, students are asked to make a small donation to assist with the purchase of food and supplies. Students are also required to submit a PERMISSION SLIP that lists all known allergies or dietary restrictions.

 

 

HOMEWORK POLICY: 

In general, I do not assign homework. Students who need additional practice should use the notecards and vocabulary sheets to study independently. 

 

All others are encouraged to use time outside of school contributing to their own personal growth. Some recommendations are listed below.

-help a younger sibling with homework

-try a new recipe or help your parent prepare dinner

-take a language lesson online (duolingo.com)

-write poetry, rap, music, blog, or diary

-watch a historical or scientific documentary, or art/music show (channel 13 PBS)

-visit your local library or museum

-create a small container garden
