SUMMER SPANISH - OPTIONAL
Dear Parent and Student,
Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School. My name is Adrienne LeBlanc and I teach 1st through 8th grade Spanish. Lower school students have Spanish with me once a week and middle school students have classes 3 consecutive days in a 6-day rotation.
I have created optional the packet below for students in 5th - 8th grades to familiarize them with some basic grammar and concepts. I especially encourage students who have never taken Spanish before to complete the packet. There will not be a test or grade for this packet, it is simply intended to familiarize students with basic things we may have already covered in a previous year. All material will be reviewed in each grade during the first term. I am including a couple of online sites that will be helpful when completing the packet. Answers are included at the end of the packet. If you have any questions I can be reached at Adrienne.Leblanc@sfawolves.org .
I look forward to meeting you in the fall.
Sincerely,
Señora Leblanc
