Hey all,

Having a tough year. I have been in the classroom for 6 years now and have never had problems like this.

I have kids who just don't care. They hate Spanish, aren't motivated, etc. I teach 5 hours of Spanish 2 and am just frustrated.

I have a couple of little gems who have yet to do a single assignment this year in my class. I have reached out to their parents since they're experts on their own children and have gotten nowhere.

I don't know if there's a solution, just needing to vent.

Julieta Connect Four using verb forms is a good game. If they
understand strategy, it will take a while. I bought mine
off the Teachers pay teachers dot com website.

Another thing I've done is write words on a strong paper
plate and wrote either the English equivalent or the
definition in Spanish (higher levels) on clothes pins from...See More

Michael Hi Ryan....I am sorry to hear that you are having a tough year! I have been teaching for 11 years and I have had a couple bad classes or times when I had a student who did not care.
