organizacion::organization
Just a reminder about how to organize your Spanish binder... (I will be doing binder checks soon!) There are 5 sections to your binder, each divided by a piece of labeled paper or a labeled divider. (I prefer that you use actual dividers). The sections are in the following order from front to back:
Opening Activities (You can abbreviate it O.A.)
Vocabulary (You can abbreviate it Vocab.)
Grammar
Writing
Stories
You need paper in every section except Stories; I will give you these as you need them. Please keep your binder organized so you can receive full credit for binder checks. And of COURSE you should be bringing it with you to every Spanish class.
Hasta luego,
Senora Epple
