I feel that my students will have gaps since they hear it in their second language every other day. It is a great program for high kids, but the low kids keep getting lower. ]]> 2017-11-01 23:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738462 https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738468 VERY CHALLENGING.....but starting to get use to it.]]> 2017-11-01 23:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738468 I need google slides in Spanish. https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738469 2017-11-01 23:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738469 Lots of reading! https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738487

It requires many manipulatives and materials that I don't have in my class (e.g. linking cubes). It is too difficult for TK. The Spanish student work book is not the same as the English, missing work pages. It goes too fast for TK/K students. https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738496 2017-11-01 23:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738496 Need Suppliments https://padlet.com/norris_va/8f58c9w1a8rt/wish/202738500 The students need more back ground knowledge.
