5th Grade

Below are a list of words we will be working on throughout the year. The 5th Grade Spanish Curriculum is designed to prepare students for Middle School Spanish.

We are starting a Unit on Spanish Speaking countries/capitals/culture. We will be learning about specific countries as well as learning traditions and customs that many Spanish Speaking Countries share.

We will be using these YouTube videos as reinforcement:
