We have been busy in Spanish class! Last semester ended with the presentation of our famous Central American projects and a Christmas Fiesta! Right now, we are just finishing our 3rd chapter in Spanish. The students have learned classroom vocabulary, the verb ser, and how to tell time this chapter. We will be testing over this chapter next week. Upon finishing the test, we will begin composing our "pen pal" letters to the students in Honduras that Mrs. Groves will be teaching. Below I've included a short video clip of a restaurant dialogue done at the beginning of the year. Students will be performing their second dialogue after we finish composing our letters-so look for more video clips to come...

update
The 5, 6, 7th graders are a bit behind following the ISTEP schedule. They will all be testing over the introductory material listed below on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The good news is that they should really know this material well because we have gotten to spend a good amount of time learning it! We will begin using our new textbooks this coming Wed., Oct. 10th! This should be exciting. Our textbook is a level one text entitled BUEN VIAJE. The students will need to leave the textbooks in the room. They will be learning lots of new vocabulary, grammar and culture. The 8th graders are already using the new texts and are going to be performing their dialogues on Wednesday. These dialogues are a sort of "mini-conversation" or skit of a restaurant scene. Students will memorize 5 lines each and perform these in front of the class. This quarter I will be introducing the Our Father (el Padre Nuestro) in Spanish. Students will be required to memorize and recite this prayer by the end of quarter 2. The Hail Mary and Prayer of St. Francis will follow in quarters 3 and 4. I would also like to do some cooking this quarter with the students. Students will also be working in pairs to research a famous Central American. They will write a report, create a visual and present their findings to the class. Something else that students will be doing this upcoming quarter will be learning and singing a few fun Spanish Christmas Carols! I'm looking forward to a fun second quarter!!

Hola
My name is Julia Hasbrook. I am from Indianapolis, IN. I am a graduate of Christ the King School, Bishop Chatard High School and Indiana University. While a junior at Indiana, I did a semester abroad in Seville, Spain. I absolutely loved this experience and would strongly encourage anyone who has the opportunity to study abroad to do it! Upon my return to the states and to Indiana University, I continued my studies and then graduated in 2000. I took a Spanish teaching position at Bishop Chatard, where I taught for four years. I decided to take some time off when my husband and I are started our family. We welcomed our son Will into the world in September of 03'. I returned to BCHS for a semester and then decided I wanted to stay home with Will. In March of 05' we welcomed our second son Drew into the world! I was offered a part time teaching position at Saint Pius X this same year. I decided that I was ready to go back to work on a part time basis. I taught Spanish at SPX for a year and a half until they went to a full time position in 07', which was not what I was looking to do at that time. I then received a call from Mrs. Sharpe about a foreign language opening at Saint Joan of Arc in May of 07' and the hours worked out perfectly with my schedule. My first year at Saint Joan of Arc was a great one and I am very happy to be returning. I am returning to SJA this year with a new addition, my daughter Lilian Rose. Lily was born on June 15th and will be coming to school with me and staying in the new "Mini Monarchs" nursery. How wonderful!!! I am very excited to be teaching again with such a dedicated and talented staff. The students at SJOA are wonderful and very talented as well. I am looking forward to a great school year!!
