May 19, 2014 Dear Parent, Your son or daughter is currently completing Spanish 2, and this letter is to inform you that during the summer your student is required to complete a Spanish review packet that is completely online. This packet contains vocabulary and grammar covered in Spanish 2 and is meant to provide students with a strong reinforcement of concepts to help with the transition into Spanish 3. All of the student practice will be done on www.conjuguemos.com and www.quizlet.com/ewig, which are both websites that students should be very familiar with by now. Students will then either take screen shots of their scores, take a picture, or print off the page with the score in order to turn their scores in the first day of school. We realize that students will not have their computer over the summer, so if there is not a computer with internet access at home, they will need to spend some time at the library or at a relative or friend’s house in order to complete the assignments. The scores are due the first day of the school year, when it will count as a 50-point homework grade. Completion and accuracy will both be included in this grade. Also, there will be a 50-point exam a few days into the school year, which will be based on the information covered in the online review. The best approach is for each student to work on the assignments gradually, neither doing it all right away nor at the last minute. Students are welcome to contact me at the e-mail address below any time a question or concern arises. Thanks for your support!
