Happy Friday! I am back at home in Virginia Beach for my last trip with my son before the school year starts! I am looking forward to going to the bay and seeing friends. Has school started for you? Some people posted that it has, and it just blows my mind! I don’t go back until August 31st. Either way, I hope that you have plans to enjoy a wonderful weekend. Here are some links to read while you are relaxing:
- I just found the blog the Language Gym and have been reading tons of articles! It is fabulous and research based! Two of my favorites are Six things I do in every FL lesson I teach and this one on micro listening activities.
- Sara-Elizabeth has a list of must-haves for her syllabus.
- Do you use Puedo ir al baño in the first weeks? Mike Coxon has published how he uses it in his class. (I am truly upset that I cannot use this in Spanish I. But let’s be honest, my Spanish II kids will love it too!)
- Check out Lauren’s new syllabus! I have to say that my FAVORITE part is the email etiquette! I am going to use that this year on mine.
