To prepare for the upcoming school year we encourage you to complete the following:

Sign up for a BCPS One parent account. A BCPS One account provides you with access to Schoology. This will allow you to view your child’s teacher, class schedule, assignments and grades. Additionally, the email you provide for your BCPS One account will also be the email address we use for school-wide communication.

To sign up (CLICK HERE)

If a week has less than 5 school days, Wednesdays will become a live instruction day and students will follow a full day schedule. In order to maximize instructional time during virtual instruction, any calendar week with fewer than five (5) school days will follow the schedule for instruction as outlined on a typical Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.

We are well into our academic year in Spanish class, and we’re having so much fun! We are learning, dancing, playing games, and having conversations IN SPANISH!

In 4th grade, we’ve learned how ask about and express: our feelings, our name, our age, and our birthday! We can also count to 31 in Spanish and can identify the months of the year, some seasons, and some weather conditions.

In 5th grade, we have done a lot of reviewing (or new learning for new students to Spanish). We have reviewed how to express how we feel and how to introduce ourselves and our family members by name. We have reviewed how to identify who lives with us (including pets), how to express the activities and sports we like/don’t like to do as well as our family members’ preferences…and WHEN we like to do those activities (weather, seasons, and days of the week).

PLEASE check your child’s grades and progress for Spanish as well as the resources that are posted on Schoology in your child’s Spanish course link. All work that needs to be completed is posted in the GREEN “Independent work to be completed” folder. Your child can review everything we’ve learned in class on Google Meet as well as through the asynchronous weekly folders before submitting any work, however it is important that the work be completed in the order it is posted for consistent learning to take place. If you or your child needs help with ANY of the work, please reach out to me, and we can set up a private Google Meet session. My contact information is the first thing on the Spanish Schoology course page (ichupnick@bcps.org).
