Spanish in Grades 6-8

In 6th grade the students will use the workbook Adelante from the "¡Viva el español!" program. This will help them with Spanish-language proficiency development and prepare students for middle school Spanish. In 7th grade we will be using the book "Adelante Level 1A" from the "Ven Conmigo" program. We expect that these years of middle school Spanish the students will have a great foundation to test out of Spanish I upon entering high school and begin their high school Spanish at the Spanish II level.
