Thanks! I do think too that you could use it for reading intervention. Often many don't realize that literacy skills are separate skills- listening, reading, speaking, and writing- that converge with higher literacy. The reading activities are simple, short, and basic enough not to intimidate students, but give them reading tasks.
I thought of my previous ELL students when I created this. Bring on further questions.

Cahamilton5(c) re: Passport to Spanish Fun: Mexico City Marvels
Hi! I am planning on teaching a Spanish after school enrichment program this fall for middle schoolers. Is this the age group this program is designed for? I am totally new to this, so any help or suggestions you have in terms of curriculum would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Andrea
Hola Andrea!
As a former middle school teacher, I can say that I had middle schoolers in mind when I wrote this. If you feel that an activity, etc is "young" you can tweak it to give it an "older spin." The Circle Time is really your instructional time so you can call it Group Time. The middle schoolers will love the games! Use some appropriate Latino pop music as the kids arrive.

This looks like a God send! Just one question, I already have purchased Middle School Madness. Are the activities different from the ones in there?
Excellent question, Roya! We did decide to include several MSM activities for the convenience of having them right there in the download (8 pages). But there are 18 additional pages of brand NEW content, mostly explaining centers, student-led projects, handouts, rubrics, evaluations.

Thank you so much! My email is royapetersen@gmail.com! Do you have any other ER verb games by chance? Like ER dominos maybe? I teach high school and have the students reviewing for the mid-term in centers. I have bought many of your supplies including Middle School Madness. I have already used the tic-tac-toes games and love them. Something along the lines of tic/tac/toe or the dice games.

Royapetersen(c) re: French Pronoun Dice Template
In the table of contents and the description it states that I would receive various dice games and templates. I only received one die pronoun template. I am not able to locate the rest of the pages.
Can you please send me your email address? I'm at foreignlanguagehouse@gmail.com. I'll try sending you the document directly. Sorry something went awry!
