Duolingo
Dear Parents of 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders,
We have good news! Our Spanish classes have free access to Duolingo's application. Duolingo is a language-learning app and is the world's most popular language-learning tool. This application will give the students extra support in the Spanish language and reinforcement outside the classroom. Students can have access to the link through their Spanish course in Schoology. They can practice 10 to 15 minutes a week or more if you, as a parent, allow it. Duolingo is optional but will enhance their learning in class.
Sincerely,
Jamilet Salernitano & Pamela Collazo
Spanish Teachers
Queridos padres o Representantes 3er, 4to, 5to, 6to grados,
¡Tenemos buenas noticias! Nuestras clases de español tienen acceso gratuito a la aplicación de Duolingo. Duolingo es una aplicación de aprendizaje de idiomas y es la herramienta de aprendizaje de idiomas más popular del mundo. Esta aplicación les dará a los estudiantes apoyo extra en el idioma español y refuerzo fuera del salón de clases. Los estudiantes pueden tener acceso al enlace a través de su curso de español en Schoology. Pueden practicar de 10 a 15 minutos a la semana o más si usted, como padre, se lo permite. Duolingo es opcional, pero si el estudiante lo usa este mejorará su aprendizaje en clase.
Sinceramente,
Jamilet Salernitano & Pamela Collazo
