Work for the week of March 12, 2012

Buenas tardes a todos,

This week we are starting  a new section of the chapter with more classrooms, more adverbs of time, invitations, acceptances, and refusals and a continuation of "to have" expressions, and the verbs "to come", "to go", and we will be introducing more "er" and "ir" verbs and how to conjugate them. The students already know the regular conjugations, but we will be studying some irregular verbs also.

On another note, Señorita Carvalho will be observed this week by her profesor de español from Rivier College in Nashua as part of her student teaching experience. The students seems to like her and I feel that she is doing a wonderful job with them! I will be out Wednesday and Thursday of this week because my husband is having major surgery and I need to be in Boston both days and perhaps Friday too. Señorita will take over the class, now that her profesor  has observed her to do so.

Homework for this week will be:
lunes noche:  make a list of places to go in a school from pages 132 and 133 in your 3rd section under the heading "Los Lugares" which you already have started. Then, in section 2, put the adverbs of time from pages 132 and 133 in there and add to them the list you have already started.
martes noche: new packet- page 36 ex 15, page 43 ex 14
miércoles noche: pagina 35 ejercicio 12, pagina 43 ejercicios 15 y16
jueves noche: pagina 40 ejercicio 22, pagina 44 ej 17, pagina 45 ej 20

We are on a push to finish up chapter 5 in our books before the end of the year. We are now finishing up Chapter 4. Our test for chapter 4 will be Friday of next week (March 23), because the following week will be going to Washington on Tuesday through Friday, the 27th thru the 30th. After that there will be 3 technology days the week of April 2nd, one full week after that and then we have April vacation. Time is running short because in between we have  5 MCAS shorten days and before you know it, it will be over. Thank you for your understanding if I have to give weekend homework to catch up. ¡Gracias!

Señora Schneider y Señorita Carvalho
