I would like to welcome you to the 2020/21 school year. I am so happy to be back in the classroom with all of our wonderful students . 

 I will  be working with Grades K-8. Teaching World Language, using Rosetta Stone.  Rosetta Stone is an internet based program which uses Rosetta Stone’s rich visual imagery to help students learn and think in a new language The association of language and images is an integral part of this dynamic learning method, ensuring a direct connection between words and their meanings.  This program will help students build proficiency in each of the four key language skills;  listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing which will advance second language learning.  In addition to class time , the students  will be  encouraged to  work  at home to advance their proficiency. 

This year we will be introducing Spanish to  Grades K-5 , while Middle School students will continue their Latin course.   Latin will be introduced in Grade 6 .

  Kindergarten and First Grade will be learning  the basics of  Spanish . This will be whole class instruction  with progression toward independent  study using Rosetta Stone at some point in Grade 1.    Grades 2-5 will have whole class instruction for the first few weeks of class.   Eventually these students will practice logging into their own Rosetta Stone account .
The students have been provided with a headset complete with microphone.  We are so very fortunte that each student has his/her own device to work with.    

Thank you 
Christine Goodwin
