Memorial High School - Spanish Teacher

 

 

 

 Academic year:  2026/2027

 

 

 

           

 

 

Course Objectives: Listening, speaking, writing, role-playing, and group activities are designed to instruct, reinforce, and connect language skills.

 

 Spanish 2H:  Speakers are advanced and can easily and confidently handle many communicative tasks.  They participate actively in most informal and some formal exchanges on a variety of concrete topics relating to work, school, home, and leisure activities, as well as to events of current, public, and personal interest or individual relevance.  Advanced-Mid speakers demonstrate the ability to narrate and describe in all major time frames (past, present, and future) by providing a full account, with good control of aspects, as they adapt flexibility to the demands of the conversation.

 

 

 

Spanish 2M:  Intermediate mid-speakers can handle uncomplicated communicative tasks by creating with the language in straightforward social situations.  Writers can meet some limited practical writing needs.  They can create statements and formulate questions based on familiar material.  Listeners can understand information from sentence-length speech, one utterance at a time in basic personal and social contacts, though comprehension is often uneven.  Readers can understand information from the simplest connected text dealing with a limited number of personal and social needs, although there may be frequent misunderstandings.

Estimados padres/guardianes:

 

Es un placer darle la bienvenida a mi clase de español en este nuevo curso escolar 2026-27.  Mi nombre es Carmen Guerra y seré la maestra de español impartiendo los niveles 2M y 2H.  El 2M es un nivel intermedio donde tienen que poder comunicarse en el idioma español. El 2H es un curso de honores donde se puede continuar el próximo año en otros cursos de honores o más avanzados.  Estoy muy ansiosa por trabajar con los estudiantes y espero tener una excelente experiencia educativa durante este año escolar.

 

En la clase estudiarán el lenguaje y la cultura hispana.  Los estudiantes tendrán que entrar con su código a "Google Classroom"  donde encontrarán sus tareas, proyectos, textos literarios y no literarios, exámenes y material para ayudarles a tener un año productivo.  Además de estos deberes escolares, tendrán trabajos en grupos,  reportes sobre diferentes temas y otras variedades de experiencias educativas. Es indispensable que el estudiante tenga su ordenador completamente cargado la noche antes de asistir a clases.

  

El sistema de evaluación se basará en: Exámenes -35%, Exámenes cortos-20%,

Tareas/Trabajos en clase- 25%, Participación en clase - 20%.

 

Estoy entusiasmada por tener la oportunidad de conocerlos en la "Noche de regreso a clases", el día 24 de septiembre de 2026, para poder trabajar juntos y asegurarnos de que su hijo/a tenga un exitoso año escolar. Si necesitan comunicarse conmigo, me pueden enviar un correo electrónico a [email protected].

 

 

Atentamente,

Dear Parents and Guardians:

 

 

I am writing to introduce myself and describe some of the activities/procedures that your child will be participating in during this school year, 2026-27.  

My name is Carmen Guerra, and I will be teaching levels 2M/2H. The 2M level is for students who already have a working knowledge of the target language. The 2H level is for honor students, who will be moving on to another honors class or a more advanced Spanish class the following year. I am looking forward to working with this year’s students and to their having an excellent educational experience. 

 

Our class will be studying the Spanish language and culture.  Students will log in to their Google Classroom to find the homework, projects, and tests, and to find useful websites as a study guide.  In addition to these assignments, students will be working on group activities, research reports, and other activities to provide them with a variety of educational experiences.  The students must bring their laptops completely charged to school the following day.

 

 

Students will be evaluated as follows: Tests - 35%, Quizzes- 20%,

Home Work/Class Work - 25%, and Class Participation - 20%

 

I’m excited for the opportunity to get to know you at our "Back to School Night, on September 24, 2026, to work together and to be sure that your child will have a successful, productive school year. If you need to contact me, please email me at [email protected].

  

 

 

 

Sincerely,
