Spanish

Students now have the second part of the review packet to work on.  This will be due on Wed. 5/9.  Based on the check done in class, most of them have completed the first part and done a good job.  We will be going over any problem areas.  The students should come before school or during study hall if they do not understand the activities.  We will do a formal review closer to the exam.  If at all possible, it is important that the students are at school when the exam is given.

8th grade DGS final exam

The second semester DGS final exam in Spanish will be the week of May 21.  We will start reviewing for this next week.  The students will have a study guide that will be due on Monday 5/14.  It is quite long and they shouldn't wait until the last minute to do it.  Please ask to see their review materials and check to see how they are progressing.  Any new material will be taught before the exam.  This is the first year that our students can earn high school credit for taking Spanish at Lakeview.  They took the first semester exam this year so they should be familiar with the format. 

Spanish

Our textbook has a companion website at www.classzone.com. The students can do vocabulary flashcards or do small self check quizzes before the classroom quiz or exam. Since all classes will be having chapter exams soon, it might be a good idea to visit the website and do some of the activities in the on-line workbook that is found under "student tools". I really like the flashcards that "speak" to you.

Spanish - Sra. Jones

I want to thank everyone for helping me out the last two weeks. This has been a challenge for me but it is so nice to be back for a short time. Mrs. Bergmann did a wonderful job of preparing for her leave. The students are well behaved and enthusiastic. The teachers and administration are helpful and welcoming. I have always said that Center Cass is a wonderful district and that I had the best job in the district. That certainly hasn't changed.
I hope everyone has a relaxing break and some fun times. We will all come back ready to finish out the year.
Don't hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns.

Changes in Spanish- Sra. Jones

I am sure all of you have heard that Mrs. Bergmann had her baby and will be out for the rest of the school year. I am very happy to be back at Lakeview and teaching her classes. Some of you might remember me if you have older students. I taught Spanish here for 25 years and retired to enjoy my grandchildren and travel in 2007. So, this will be a change for me as well as the students. I will do my best to prepare the 8th graders for their DGS final exam and to prepare the 7th graders to continue next year. Students may see me before or after school for help or during study hall. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at Lakeview.

Baby Name Suggestions

A few months ago, one of the students made a suggestion box for students to give me their suggestions for names for Baby Bergmann. Here are the suggestions. Baby Bergmann might like some, but I think he'll be glad that we haven't picked some of them...We had a good laugh in our classes looking through them today.
