September is the perfect month to learn how to ask, “What is your name?” It’s the start of a new academic year, and with new students and teachers to meet, it's the ideal time to practice introductions in Spanish! To the right, you’ll find the poster we’re using in class to teach the kids how to ask and say their names in Spanish.
