Realidades Para empezar 2 © Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 4 Para empezar School-to-Home Connection Dear Parent or Guardian, Thank you for taking the time to review what your child is learning in his or her Spanish class. You can play an integral role in your child’s acquisition of Spanish by staying informed of what is being taught in class and supporting language learning at home. Realidades, your child’s Spanish textbook, is designed to promote both written and oral communication. Each theme-based chapter includes vocabulary in context, grammar, and cultural lessons. Also included are pronunciation exercises, detailed language studies, and ways to recognize and use Spanish outside of the classroom. In this chapter, students will be reviewing some things that were learned last year: • talking about what they and other people are like • talking about where they and other people are from • talking about what they and other people do • talking about what how often they do certain things Additional help is available online at www.PHSchool.com by using the Web Codes in the Student Edition or in the Practice Workbook. Check it out! Have your child review the vocabulary in this chapter by describing two friends and what they like to do in their free time. Sincerely, School-to-Home Connection For: Tips to Parents Visit: www.phschool.com Web Code: jce-0010
