It’s that time of year again…. summer break is coming to an end for me and I’ll be back in the classroom for year 17 soon. Here are a few things we’ve been up to over the summer to help make YOUR transition back to the classroom an easier one.

With more and more teachers needed new ways to show student growth to administration, these two projects are just what every teacher needs. Our first product is our Timed Writing Prompts for any language with a timed-writing sheet to count words and FOUR original storyboards. Featuring six panels of a sequenced story, students write as much as they can in 5 minutes. The best part is using the Excel Spreadsheet or Google Sheet that inserting student data, which  will then calculate the amount of growth. Check the video preview on the product page for more info! This will definitely save you tons of time and impress your administration.

Our next student growth assessment features vocabulary where students write the translation for 100 common words. After ten minutes, the teacher reads the answers, and students count up the number of words they’ve identified correctly. Teachers input the data and watch the scores go up each time. Need to test specific words? No worries, the testing sheet also comes in an editable format.

Our next bundle is a LIMITED TIME offer and you won’t find it during sale time… it’s already a huge saving of 25% off our most popular beginning-of-the-year materials and lessons.

And lastly, this project we did at the end of last school year. Each semester my students read a Hispanic-related novel from the library. I typically don’t have them do anything other than read, but with this easy to use digital template, I think it’s a great way for students to recommend books to their classmates and their peers to see what books are about. The template is 100% editable and be can shared digitally with students to complete for a professional printout when completed.

And if you have a FVR library, stay tuned; we have an upcoming product that you may be interested in. Make sure you are subscribed to our store to be notified when it’s posted.

And finally, our Google Slides Calendar Talk templates provide 9 different slides to choose from, allowing you to discuss the date and highlight interesting events that occur on that date, such as celebrity birthdays and “On this day in history…”. Wonderful way to use the target language to discuss something interesting.
