Hello, Hamden Teachers! Have a question or need help finding something? Leave a comment below and we’ll be happy to help!
* MS buttons added
* Removed “Go green” on both level two and changed to “Getting Around”
* Will change all buttons to new title when you give the link and decide on titles.
* resource title added about AT units
* removed units that didn’t fit topic or proficiency level
* Switched level 5 order of units
Hello Leah! I have one suggestion… I put those proficiency level descriptors at the top just to help during the planning. I don’t think they should stay there permanently since they are my cheat sheet, and not official. Instead, what if I link to the descriptors on ACTFL’s page?
Can you just comment here with units? If it’s some of the newer units, they are in progress and might not exist yet.
Ah! I didn’t check the English. I’ll fix those right now. Do you know, have the level 3 and 4 units been set?
This one worked for me. Let me know if it doesn’t, since that means there’s another issue.
This one (Planning a week in the city), still goes to Arabic…
Based on your new unit recommendations, I don’t have “Week in the City” anywhere on the curriculum. Is that correct?
I think you took it off HMS but it should only have come off HHS. So HMS Y2 U5 should be Planning a week in the city and HHS Y2 U5 is the Ecotourism
Added a week in city back on HMS.
I fixed all of them. Some of them are not created in English yet, so I put that note on there.
I’ll work on these this week! It might take just a bit to get those changes made. For “Let’s Go Shopping,” we don’t have one unit, but we have lessons where they buy/order mixed in different units. What are they shopping for in your unit?
While I’m in the code… do you want me to remove our notes? I’ll also rename the Year/Level headers.
Just a note, the Trash Problem unit has a part about recycled art. Not sure if you saw that.
Ok! Take a look and see if I got all of those changes correct.
Not at this time. However, if you look at the units for specific celebrations (birthdays, Day of the Dead, Thanksgiving, Happy Holidays, New Years, Love is in the Air, etc), there are a lot there that will give you a good start. We are giving Chinese and AP a lot of attention right now. Eventually we’ll get back into those other units.
Updated!

Done. For the Y4 U5, the Travel Industry looks like it would fit your goals. Yes, the unit is focused on one industry (travel), but the idea is that the teacher is using it as the input and the model. Then they can research their own field of interest.

Got them! Question. You put this earlier for the buttons:
*Green HPS button should be above Adios Textbook “resource” – Titled: HPS Approved Curriculum – Unit 1 Heroism – Look at the first Y1 U1. It that what you want? I want to ask before I start changing these. Since the title is right above it, do you want the title again? Could be just “HPS Approved Curriculum” on each one?
The topic for HMS Y2 U5 is “Let’s Eat!” Also, for this unit please add Saliendo de Tapas as a resource.
Alright! I think I got these last three comments updated. 🙂
Done!
Got it!
