New Resources

Hola,

Just wanted to take a minute to let you know about some new resources waiting for you on the blog.

CLASS DOCUMENTS - I've been working on a library of important class documents. This is a work in progress, so I will be adding items to it as we progress throughout the year. when appropriate, I will post the teacher copy of notes and/or vocabulary so that they are filled in. I hope that this resource will help you have easy access to these items in case you lose them.

SPANISH FLASHCARDS & ACTIVITIES - What was once only vocabulary flashcards is now a list of unit study activities. These are specially created for the concepts, words, and structures we study throughout a given unit, AND are organized by unit for easy access.

ARCHIVES - The archives are where you would go to find the blog post for a day you missed. If you scroll down to the bottom of the blog, you will see links to each month. Click on the month the post appeared and search through the posts to find what you are looking for.

I hope you are becoming more accustomed to using the blog and all it has to offer. Remember there is more here than just resources for Spanish class. Take another look around.

Enjoy!

Some new features

¡Hola!

I hope you are all well and safe.

Tomorrow we DHS teachers have to go back to find out the status of things, so I will send you more information to let you know what to expect when you come back to school and more specifically Spanish class.

Also, I have done some updating & organizing on the blog and provided some resources to help you.

THE UPDATES
1. I have moved all of the links and resources all the way to the right margin to keep all of that type of information together.
2. STUDENT RESOURCES FOR ANY CLASS - These are links to online applications and sites to help you in any course you are currently taking.
3. The look of the blog is different.

I am working on creating a library of the notes, vocabulary and other documents that you can access from the web. I want it to be really organized and easy to use, so I will let you know when it is ready.

Finally, let me know how this is doing by posting a comment on my posts. All you have to do is click "COMMENT" under the post itself and follow the directions.

Take care and see you soon!

Hurricane Ike Came to My House

Dear students and parents,

I hope you have all safely made it through Hurricane Ike. I pray you didn't receive any damage to your homes, selves or property during this amazing storm. I look forward to seeing you safely and soundly back at school soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lenord

Here's a look at what Ike did to my place.

Summer Trip 2009 - Costa Rica

Hola,

Before you all embark upon a new school year with new teachers, classes and responsibilities, I wanted to take a moment to let you know about this year's trip. Mrs. Jeffery and I are sponsoring a trip to Costa Rica and we couldn't be more excited! If you are interested, we have started a new blog dedicated to the trip and all the related in formation. You can learn more by going to Costa Rica 2009. We will post all travel meeting information here and anything else that will help you along the way.

I hope you will consider traveling with us this summer. Costa Rica will be a trip like no other we've taken so far. Please email me to let me know you are considering it.

ALSO, if you are ready to unsubscribe to my blog (sniff, sniff), you can do so by following this process. Here's what it should look like (click on picture to enlarge):

1. Click on the "unsubscribe" link.

2. Follow any instructions given to you.

The process should be simple enough. If there is reason to believe you might be in my Spanish 2 class, I would wait to do this until after the first day of school to know who your Spanish teacher will be. I mean, why unsubscribe if you have me after all :).

Whatever happens, welcome back to school and I wish you all the best of luck. I hope to see some of your faces in my classes again.

Hugs and Best Wishes,

Leno

Happy Summer!

Hola everybody!

I hope you are having a great summer. I am really enjoying the rest and relaxation. I know school is out, but there some unfinished business to take care of. So...

First, for those of you who are interested, Julieta Venegas (who sings Lento) is coming to Houston!!! She will be performing at the Arena Theater November 11. I am going... I hope to see you there, too.

Secondly, I know it is painful to hear, but summer will be over before we know it. That being said, I am sure a lot of you don't want or need to still receive these emails, so the next email you get from me will outline the process for unsubscribing.

I hope you all have a lot of fun this summer, and I wish you all the best for anything you do next year. Be good!

Leno
