Summer Work for Spanish II, III and IV Students
¡Hola! Summer...time to relax, travel , spend time with friends and family, read some good books...and keep up with your language skills! These assignments are intended to maintain your exposure to the language and to use what you already know for some fun activities that you get to choose!
The goal is to spend at least 20 minutes per week exploring the sites and links found on Sra Lopez’s website. You may also read books and articles that you find yourself or listen to music that you may find. Some of the things are review and others may use vocabulary and grammar you haven’t learned yet….that’s ok! Try to get the main ideas of the sites, articles or videos.
On Sra Lopez’s website (www.profelopez.weebly.com), you will find a link to a log sheet (see example below). Complete as many of these as you need. Try to spend at least 20 minutes each week doing a variety of activities. The more variety you have, the more skills you will develop. These sheets will be due on the first Friday we are back in school. These will be the first grades of the year, so it will benefit you in many ways to complete them!
