My Project

My middle school Spanish classroom is located in the main hallway of the school so every adult and child walks by the bulletin board outside my door multiple times a day. That's why I make it my goal to provide entertaining, informative and relavant messages on the bullentin board throughout the year.

These new sets of images and explanations will help me keep it novel for students who see my bulletin boards daily for three years in a row.

I've requested one set featuring elements of the Days of the Dead celebration and a second set with phrases for greeting and/or saying good-bye to someone in Spanish.

I've also requested 6-dozen incentive pens with Spanish phrases on them. They are a very popular option from my prize box and we are running low. Thank you for supporting public school students and their teachers. We appreciate your generosity!
