homework pages 44 and 45 in book -new vocabulary

Buenas noches,

Tonight's homework is to find all the new adjectives on pages 44 and 45 and put them in section 4 of your notebook. We will go over them tomorrow so make sure you know what they mean in English. Tuesday night's homework will be pages 11 and 13 in your new packet, Wednesday night will be pages 16 and 17 in the packet which will be due on Friday due to Spirit Day on Thursday.

We had our first major test last Friday on Chapter 1 and it covered everything we have learned so far. We finished it today. Numbers 0 to 30, all greetings, goodbyes, and basic expressions such as my name is, how are you, where are you from, what time is it, days of the week, months of the year, the date, and of course, the alphabet. We hope to watch a video on chapter 1 on Friday in the computer lab and I will be listening to partner dialogs off and on during the next few weeks for a speaking grade before the term ends. We have also had listening activities with native speakers on tapes and have been working in groups and partners many times per week. Occasionally, we talk about current events that have been involved Hispanic people around the world such as the Chilean miners. I hope everyone is enjoying Spanish!

Hasta luego---Senora Schneider

homework -pages 32 and 33 in the book -exercises 1 thru 6, finish time sheet and study for the chapter one test

Buenas noches a todos,

We are having our first chapter test this Friday, October 15th. It will include a listening section, reading a story for comprehension, multiple choice questions on grammar and culture, and 2 essays. It will cover everything that we have learned so far. We have been practicing everyday with questions and working together in groups and partners to study the material. We had a quiz last Friday which was bit challenging for some students, so I am hoping that this past week has been beneficial for everyone to ask questions and understand the chapter a bit more.

Tonight's homework, as all of our homeworks, is going to reinforce what we have learned and help the students study for the test. Hopefully, it will all go well. Next week, I would like to go to the computer lab to watch the video that goes with the chapter and possibly start an artist project if we have time and the lab is available. More on that next week. In the meantime, study hard and good luck (buena suerte) on the test tomorrow.

Homework for 10-5-10 worksheet pages 6 and 8

Buenas tardes amigos,

This week we are starting a new month with our calendarios de octubre and finding 8 Halloween items to draw and label on our calendarios. This was due today and if it was not passed in I will take it tomorrow with 10 points off for being late. Remember it is worth two homework grades, one for the pictures and labels and one for the Spanish numbers. Tonight's homework is about time and the verb "to be". Use your notes if you have any questions or if you have your book, that's good too. Tomorrow night's homework will be worksheet pages 10 and 11 and Thursday night's home work will be a time worksheet, the verb to be and to study for our Friday quiz.

We have been learning a little bit about Hispanic culture and will be doing more of that this week. We will also be having another quiz on Friday on time, pronouns, and the verb "ser". We will  be practicing all this week. We also have been listening to native speakers on our Spanish tapes that go with chapter and still need to practice our countries and capitals. We are still introducing new routines to the class and will be working in groups hopefully by the end of the week. In the meantime, keep practicing your Spanish so that we can do some more dialogs and introduce more items for conversation.

Hasta luego,   Senora Schneider
