What’s Coming to Señor Wooly in the 2026–27 School Year

Published onSep 02, 2026  •  Authored by Jim Wooldridge  •  ViewNewsblog posts

Okay, so we have a big year planned here at Wooly.

We have new stories, new lesson plans, new tools, and a few surprises coming this school year.

Some of it is already here. Some of it is coming very soon. And some of it... well, we’re not quite ready to tell you about yet.

 

Wooly Week 2026 is back!

September 28 – October 30, 2026

For many teachers, Wooly Week has become one of their favorite times of the school year. And this fall, it’s back for the ninth time.

This year’s experience is built around one brand-new Wooly story. For now, we’re keeping the title secret.

You’ll choose any one week between September 28 and October 30. For that week, the new story becomes your classroom unit, with tons of fun activities and achievements to make it a memorable week for you and your students.

One week with your class.
Five weeks to fit it into your schedule.

The story begins with a feeling every beginning Spanish student knows:

You know exactly what you want to say. You just have no idea how to say it in Spanish.

We think this is the quintessential beginning-of-the-year Wooly video. It’s hilarious, has a great message, and still has enough of that unexpected Wooly energy to leave your students wondering who the heck would make something like this.

Complete achievements with your students to earn raffle tickets and enter to win prizes.

Wooly Week is included with every active Essentials and Premium license at no additional cost.

There’s nothing you need to do right now. As we get closer to September 28, we’ll share all the details. For now, just know that it’s coming.

 
First look

The Dentista saga continues

Many of you have been waiting years to find out what happened after La ciudad de La Dentista. At last, Carolina and Mía’s story continues in the third book of our best-selling Dentista series.

La isla de La Dentista

Hidden aboard a cargo ship bound for La Dentista’s island, Carolina and Mía search desperately for Tía Isidora.

But when the island they escaped a year ago finally emerges from the fog, they begin to suspect that it is hiding far more than they imagined.

La isla de La Dentista goes on sale very, very soon. And by “very, very soon,” I mean really soon.

New to the series? Start with La casa de La Dentista (Book 1) and continue with La ciudad de La Dentista (Book 2).
