As we wrap up an incredible year of learning Spanish, I want to take a moment to reflect on all the amazing experiences we’ve shared in class. This week, we’re finishing our identity unit with a fun and creative activity: drawing self-portraits and using adjectives in Spanish to describe ourselves. It’s been wonderful to see the creativity of each student come to life, and to learn more about the unique personalities of our classmates!

I am so proud of the progress everyone has made this year. Learning a new language can be challenging, but your enthusiasm and dedication have made it a rewarding journey. As we prepare to transition into Middle School Spanish, I encourage each of you to keep practicing your Spanish skills over the summer. Here are a few fun ideas to help you stay engaged:

1. Watch Movies or Shows in Spanish: Find a family-friendly movie or series and change the audio to Spanish. OR turn on the subtitles in Spanish to follow along as you enjoy the story! 📺🍿

2. Read Spanish Books: Visit your local library or bookstore to find books in Spanish that interest you. Try reading aloud to practice your pronunciation. 📚

3. Practice with Language Apps: Download a language learning app like Duolingo or Babbel to practice vocabulary and grammar in a fun way. 📱

4. Speak with Friends and Family: Challenge your friends or family members to practice Spanish with you. You can create a mini Spanish conversation club! 🗣

5. Listen to Spanish Music: Find some catchy Spanish songs. Try to sing along and learn the lyrics—it’s a fun way to improve your language skills! 🎧🎶

I am excited to see how each of you continues to grow in your Spanish language journey. Have a fantastic summer, and remember to keep exploring the beautiful world of Spanish!

¡Hasta luego! 😎🏖️
