Spanish IV 11-08-06

Dear Students and Parents:
I’m writing this from home on Friday evening (11/01) after realizing I hadn’t written up our class work on Wednesday.  I’ll do my best to remember what we did, but please understand if I’ve forgotten some detail.  I recommend students call one of their “Study Buddies” to verify the homework assignments.

• Partner Orals


• Reviewed vocabulary 2A


• I read aloud the small picture book, La selva tropical – extending our understanding of the vocabulary within a comprehensible context.  We also discussed topics brought up in the book.


• Reviewed the various uses of “to be” in Spanish: Ser/Estar.


• Stamped homework and checked off for credit.


• Took notes from the Power Point on Ser, Estar, Haber well as idiomatic expressions with Hacer and Tener.


• Homework:


• Act. 2-3, page 47 (using the vocabulary in Ampliación)


• Act. 2-6, page 48 – Read the poster ¿Cuánto dura la basura? And then design your own poster (Not larger than 8”X11” paper, please)


• Act. 2-8, page 52.  Complete the announcement with the form of  Ser, Estar, or Haber appropriate for the sentence.
