Hola estudiantes and padres (students and parents),
I hope you are all off to a good start in school, but especially in Spanish. So far we have been learning about greetings, goodbyes, capitals, countries, weather, numbers, alphabet, customs in Spain, months, days of the week, money, and feelings. The students are doing well and seem to be enjoying the class.
This week we will be learning about subjects and verbs, telephone and internet expressions, and capital and country expressions. We will be working more with partners now that we have established more routines and we will be writing and performing a dialog at the end of the week. We have also started our listening activities on tape where the students hear native speakers and respond to questions that they hear. It is good for the students to hear other voices and various accents from different countries. There are no quizzes this week, but we have had two so far, some graded homework, and some graded classwork.
The homework for tonight Monday 9/26 is all of page 1a and page 3 exercises 8 and 9 in the packet.
Tuesday night homework will be page 4 in the old packet and page 5V in the new packet which the students will receive tomorrow.
There will be no homework Wednesday or Thursday nights due to the Jewish holidays. We will resume our normal schedule next week of homework Monday through Thursday.
Hasta pronto! (see you soon ) Senora Schneider
