Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! My name is Libby Lipetzky, and I am beyond excited to start my third year as the Spanish teacher at Brassfield. A little bit about me...I recently got married in May and had the chance to travel to Mexico over my track out! We got to use our Spanish bargaining in Mexico, so I love telling the students all about my travels. I have also traveled to Peru and loved hiking the Incan trail to Machu Picchu. I enjoy running and photography. I am so excited to teach you about the wonderful world of Spanish!
K-1:
We will be focusing on learning the basic vocabulary and numbers to get ready for 2nd grade Spanish! Get ready to sing and dance, learning our basic songs will help us with our days, numbers, months, alphabet, colors, and more! In first grade, students will work on reading in Spanish and looking for words and sounds that are similar to English.
2-5:
Students in 2nd grade will begin their Spanish notebooks this year! All students in grades 2-5 will be responsible for bringing a notebook and folder dedicated to Spanish class each week. In this notebook, the students will write vocabulary and will complete in class work. In grades 2-4, students will focus on conversations in Spanish class, writing in Spanish, and self descriptions. In 5th grade, students will not only focus on the conversations and writing in Spanish, but will also focus on the culture of South America! In Specials for the 1st quarter, students in the 5th grade will bring a "passport" to each special and will get a stamp after learning cultural aspects of each South American Country!
