Bonus sale... AGAIN! Save up to 25% on Digital Resources for Spanish 1 and 2

September 14, 2020

It's September, and you have ANOTHER chance to save up to 25% on all of our resources for Spanish 1 and 2. Now that teachers are back to school and know exactly what kinds of resources they need to survive or thrive this fall, Teachers Pay Teachers has decided to throw their first-ever September Sitewide sale. On Tuesday, September 15, you can save up to 25% with code EXTRABONUS at checkout on digital resources for Spanish 1 and 2... and e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. from The Comprehensible Classroom.

Digital curriculum for Spanish 1 + 2

This fall semester is different than any other fall semester, and you are quickly finding out that you can no longer use all of your old favorite resources. Even if your school has returned to full-time classroom instruction, you need to adapt your plans to account for social distancing and limited contact between students and with shared materials. You need new resources for the new challenges you face this fall.

You've got this, and we've got your back.

Remember to use code EXTRABONUS while checking out on Tuesday, September 15


Distance Learning Resources that help now and moving forward.

While Digital Curriculum and Resources are completely essential right now for your Spanish classes, we know that eventually the need will fade. If you are feeling hesitant to invest now in new, digital resources because you won't be using them forever (we hope!), don't worry–everything that we are learning and creating right now will help us in the future. We will have greater flexibility in supporting our students, because we will have more ways to deliver content to them in meaningful ways.

In particular, The Comprehensible Classroom is strategically creating Digital resources in such a way that they will be a beautiful complement to our traditional resources down the road. But for now... digital is life.

Digital Curriculum

Before you can start creating an online course that is uniquely you, you need a foundation. Our Semester 1 Digital Curriculum Bundle is the perfect starting place. Here's why it has earned 65 5-star ratings in the first 6 weeks since its publication:

  • It is all-inclusive. This bundle is not just a collection of useful resources; it provides daily lesson plans so that you don't have to figure out what to do on your own. You can adapt as little or as much as you want; but a clear path is laid out for you so that you can focus on your health and your connection with your students.
  • It is Proficiency oriented, Comprehension-based, and Acquisition driven. You don't have to resort to grammar and vocabulary drills now that you are teaching online: this bundle includes everything you need to keep communicating with your students, every day, in the target language.
  • It includes resources for Spanish 1 and Spanish 2 - since most Spanish teachers teach a little bit of both!
  • It is a GROWING bundle. As we keep adding more digital resources this fall, Bundle owners will receive them at no additional cost. This means that when we publish Digital Resources for Hispanic Heritage Month or Día de Muertos, you will already own them!
  • It features our FLEXible units, which will support your students in the classroom, in asynchronous and synchronous online classes, and even distance learners without Internet access. Learn more about Flex units »

Our Digital Resources are designed for students to complete independently from their devices. These resources are all Google Apps™ based (Docs, Forms, Slides, etc.) and interactive, and they can be used in the Microsoft Teams platform as well.

When you invest in Digital Resources from The Comprehensible Classroom, you will receive quality materials that will help you to continue providing your students with input that is highly processable, even when you are out of the classroom. Next year, you can use these same resources for sub days, for students who missed class, and as an ongoing effort to reduce paper use.

Remember - the sale is September 15!

Don't teach Spanish? NO PROBLEM! We've got Digital Resources in French and LATIN!


SOMOS original or SOMOS Digital?

The original SOMOS Curriculum and the Digital Curriculum cover the same scope and sequence, but in different ways and with slightly different content. While the push to create Digital content has been overwhelming, we are very proud to now be able to offer two products that complement each other and that will work beautifully together to provide ultimate flexibility, differentiation, and personalization for you and for your students.

During the sale, you can save 25% with code EXTRABONUS on both the Original Curriculum and the Digital Curriculum. Your school district can also take advantage of the sale prices! For a one-time purchase of less than $1000.00, your district could have everything they need to never spend money on a Spanish textbook adoption ever again.

El mundo en tus manos is a news subcription for Novice and Intermediate Spanish students.

News subscription for Spanish Levels 1-4

One digital resource that is NOT included in the Semester 1 bundle is the 2020-2021 subscription to El mundo en tus manos. This subscription, which brings you 5 news articles from Spanish-speaking countries bi-weekly, has become an integral component of Spanish courses throughout the country across many levels of Spanish. This year, each issue will be provided in both print-ready and digital formats. Here is what you get:

  • Novice & Intermediate versions of 5 news stories
  • Glossed & unglossed versions of the Intermediate articles
  • 1 comprehension/processing activity for each article (DIGITAL)
  • A projectable slideshow of the text of each article (DIGITAL/PEARDECK READY)
  • Authentic resources to pair with each story
  • Connection/Exploration activities for pre-reading or post-reading

The EMETM team (Maris Hawkins, Nelly Hughes, and myself) research each news story extensively to ensure that we are bringing you accurate, unbiased information that you and your students can use as a starting point for conversation and further learning. We intentionally choose news stories that do not perpetuate racist beliefs about the myriad of cultures that coexist in Latin America, Spain, and Equatorial Guinea, and that represent a diverse range of peoples, practices, products, and perspectives. We also do not shy away from sharing news stories about hard and complex topics that have deep historical contexts. Whenever necessary, we consult with individuals from the places that we write about to ensure that we are sharing authentic perspectives.

During the sale, you can purchase the 2020-2021 subscription to El mundo en tus manos for just $75 (remember to use the coupon code EXTRABONUS to get the full discount!). Add it to your cart now »
