Buenas tardes a todos,
This week Ms. Carvalho from Rivier College will begin her student teaching in all my Spanish classes. We will be reviewing what we learned last week about "AR" verbs, vocabulary, adverbs of time, the irregular verbs "ir" and "jugar", and weather. We will be doing fun activities that involve card games, scrabble, and other verbs practices to help reinforce our knowledge of Spanish verbs and conjugations of those verbs. I am looking forward to working with Señorita Carvalho this spring. I'm sure she will bring us some new ideas and activities to try out in class. There will be a quiz on "AR" verbs on Friday, February 3rd and how to conjugate them, and there will be a test next week toward the end of the week. We will also be performing dialogues in the near future.
Homework for this week is:
lunes noche: paginas 31 toda, 33 ejercicio 25
martes noche: paginas 26 toda, 27 ejercicio 17
miécoles noche: paginas 27 ejercicios 18 y 19, pagina 28 toda
jueves noche: paginas 33 ejercicio 24, 35 ejercicio 28, other half of vocabulary sheet, study for quiz
viernes noche: nada
That's all for now. Señora Schneider y Señorita Carvalho

Work for week of January 23, 2012
Buenas noches a todos,
After having two quizzes last week, we are now learning more new verbs and new vocabulary this week. The pace of the class will definitely be picking up as we will be learning many new things each week. For example, this week we will be learning more about weather, new "ar" verbs, new vocabulary about places to go, how to conjugate the verb "to go", how to conjugate the "ar" verbs with all their different endings, and adverbs of time. This is a lot considering we have a half day this week on Thursday with shorter class times and some classes will miss some classes on Friday due to an assembly about course selections at the high school on Friday.
This week I can stay Tuesday until 3:00-3:30 and only until 2:45 on Wednesday. Thursday is a half day and Friday is not good either.
Homework for this week in the new packet will be:
Lunes noche - page 29 whole page, page 25 ex 13, page 36 ex 31
Martes noche - page 24 ex 9 and10, page 36 ex 29 and 30
Miercoles noche - page 20 whole thing and 34 whole page
Jueves noche - page 25 ex 12 and 14, page 32 whole page
Viernes noche - nada - nothing
There are no quizzes this week due to the half day and assembly for some classes. A quiz on the verbs and their conjugations will probably happen next Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, make sure you study, make flash cards, and ask me for help after school if you need it!
Hasta luego, Senora Schneider

Work for the week of January 16, 2012
Buenas noches a todos,
I hope that everyone had a nice long weekend and that we are all ready to get back into a routine and to do some work! We are now in chapter 3 and will be picking up the pace with more verbs, more vocabulary and more speaking, reading, writing, and listening. We will be learning how to conjugate "AR" verbs and have already learned how to conjugate some irregular verbs such as 'ser", "tener" and "querer" - to be, to have, and to want. We are also learning about the verb "to like" so we can talk about what activities we like and want to do. There are lots of new nouns and vocabulary from now on, so I will still continue to stay after school 2 or 3 times per week. This week it will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We will also be getting a student teacher from Rivier College and she will be starting within the next two weeks. She had observed our classes last trimester for a total of 50 hours. Most of the students are familiar with who she is. Her name is Sabrina Carvahlo and is from Tyngsborough. It should be a good experience for all!
Homework for this week is:
Tuesday night -martes noche- a vocabulary sheet given in class. Do part 1-write answers in English. Study for vocabulary quiz for tomorrow on new verbs and nouns found on pages 82 and 83 in your book. Notes are also in your notebook-section 4 for verbs, section 3 for nouns.
Wednesday night -miercoles noche- page 26 in packet.
Thursday night- jueves noche- page 27 in packet. Study for quiz on Friday. This one will be on sentences and questions using the new vocabulary and nouns, plus gustar and querer. We will be matching, making sentences and questions, and filling in the blanks with correct verb forms. Study!
No homework Friday night

Events for the week of December 19, 2011
Happy Holidays and Feliz Navidad a todos!
This week is a clean up week before we go on vacation for the holiday break. After having our chapter 2 test last week, we are now making sure everyone has taken it so that we can have a fresh start with chapter 3 after vacation. We are finishing our oral presentations in front of the class this week. Students picked an age and a country out of a can and had to draw a picture of themselves with their likes and dislikes, their country's flag, digital age, name and country. The presentations have been very good overall. It counts as a test grade, the colored poster counts as a quiz grade, and the audience participation form counts as a classwork grade.
We will also be learning about the holiday traditions in different hispanic countries, so we will be going to the computer lab to do some quick research. The students will need to come up with five facts about their country and present them to the class in English with a possibility of presenting some facts in Spanish. It should be fun and informative. We will also be making traditional Mexican tin ornaments this week using heavy duty aluminum foil and sharpie markers. The students will look up a typical ornament that they would like to make.
We also have a few holiday vocabulary activities that we can do such as a word search, crossword puzzle, fill in activities, bingo, and a poem that will use the new vocabulary. We will also be playing some typical festive songs.
I will be staying after school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week so that the students may finish any work that they owe.
Homework for the week will be lighter than usual.
Monday night: Word search only
Tuesday night: Finish getting information for your country's traditions for presentations tomorrow.
Wednesday night: Crossword puzzle only
Thursday night: bingo sheet for use on Friday
Friday night: Have a wonderful vacation!

Work for the week of December 5, 2011
Buenas tardes a todos,
As I mentioned last week in my blog, the estudiantes this week will be creating a drawing of themselves and practicing for their oral presentations in front of the class. Today, I passed out the rubric and the paper on which I would like them to draw their head. We started the actual drawing in class and those who used their time wisely were able to complete many of the requirements of the rubric. We will presenting 5 to 7 posters every day this week and it will count as a test grade. Please review the rubric with your student if you have any questions. I showed them models of what I wanted in class. The poster needs to be in color. There will also be a quiz on Friday, December 9 on gusta, adjectives, the preposition "de"and its uses, and the pronouns me,te, le, nos, os, les, plus the vocab from pgs 56 and 57.
Homework for the week of 12-5-11:
Monday night: Finish poster of yourself in color. The only words on it should be your first name and the capital and country. Also, December calendar is due with 8 holiday items in color and numbers in Spanish.
Tuesday night: Finish the packet -the only page that should be left is page 24. I will be collecting it soon.
Wednesday night: Finish vocabulary sheet 2A which should be the bottom half. Study for quiz on 12/9.
Thursday night: In the book page 65 exercise 33, and page 71 exercise 4. Study for quiz tomorrow.

We are still working together with partners, groups, individual and whole class activities which the students seem to be enjoying. We have been having a student from Rivier College observing and helping out a bit 3 days per week. She will possibly be here student teaching in the spring semester. We will see.
