8th+and+7th+Grade+Spanish

Hello, and welcome!

Students in 8th and 7th grade are working with Buen viaje textbook, their notes, verbal drills, role-play, and presentations. I am trying to raise money to buy a digital projector to be used in our Spanish classroom in order to enhance the learning experience even more. Here is the link of our project on DonorsChoose.org - []. Please share it with your friends, family, and anyone else that is interested in donating money towards our project.

Second Marking Period Grade Requirements: Classwork/Participation: 40 Tests/quizzes: 30 Project (verbal presentation with visuals): 30 Extra credit: 10 - write a 1 page essay related to __any__ Spanish speaking country tradition or customs.

As people in Central and Southamerican countries are getting ready to celebrate the Day of the Dead (El dia de los muertos), so are my students and I. Colorful costumes, sugar skulls, "dead" bread, papel picado, and yellow marigolds are wonderful symbols of celebrating your ancestors.
