Welcome to Spanish class with Sr. Reilly! I am very excited to be your teacher this year. Please take a moment to click and read the short yet interesting article below for a quick and positive reminder of some of the benefits of learning a second language. Scroll a little further down the page and you will also find the guiding principles (Be Inspired!) of the BMCHSD World Language Program. The spirit of our guiding principles is to allow our students the greatest opportunities for expression and to have fun with the language that they are studying. I, personally, attempt to plan each and every class (as well as each assessment) with these principles in mind.
It is my hope and expectation that students and parents use this website to find course descriptions, HW, class notes, and links to important resources. Throughout the year we will also be visiting this website in class when we visit the computer room and complete listening and reading tasks. With the website, many of these tasks and resources will be available for you at home if you want some extra practice!
Students and parents - Please bookmark this website and use the contact tab to reach out to me with any questions or concerns that you may have during the year.

Together we will build the following 5 skills together! With a little bit of effort and a positive attitude you will be amazed how much you will improve in one year!
Listening & ReadingYou will not be allowed to say "I took 4 years of high school Spanish and I can't even..."
You will listen to a variety of speakers, male and female, from various nations to become comfortable listening to all accents. You level of comprehension will increase with each day. In addition, we will read and |
Speaking & WritingYou will be able to communicate both verbally and in written form with speakers of Spanish. You may not be perfect at first, but you will be communicating from day #1 in my class. Precision and clarity will come with time and practice but the focus is on purposeful communication.

Cultural AwarenessAs we learn the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking we will be doing so in the context of the Spanish speaking world.
