Emergency student council meeting today caused us to rearrange our plans for the week.
As of now, we will continue with our Debate preparation tomorrow and present the Debate on Thursday.  Our written final is on Friday (Vocabulary, grammar AND culture/projects).

Today we watched “La era de hielo” (Ice Age) en Español with subtitles in Spanish as well.  It was interesting to note that the subtitles often used different words from the Spanish sound track, but they were synonymous in meaning.
