Homework Week 1

We had a wonderful 1st day!
 
Today (hoy) we went on a tour of the classroom and reviewed the APEX rules: Be Safe, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful and how to implement them in our classroom.  
 
We learned there are 21 countries that speak Spanish.  For homework, each student has 5 countries they will research and report back to us in 2 weeks.  I completed Colombia and have attached a picture of it to our class page.  Each student has all necessary papers to complete their homework.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
See you in 2 weeks!
