(junio, julio, agost)     (lunes – viernes)     (sábado y domingo)

Jugar tenis       escribir cuentos      dormir

• Practiced forming (conjugating) verbs – see page 9, using the verbs from our lists.

Tarea:

3. Complete your chart of activities, if you haven’t yet, AND practice forming the verbs for different people.
