Spanish II 09-07-07

Spanish II 09-07-07

Today was an exercise in flexibility: The assembly ran long so 2nd period was abbreviated; we had students moving into and out of the classes trying to balance their schedules AND it was picture day: so students were in and out of class taking care of that, too. However, we DID accomplish quite a bit. Here’s what we did:

Period 2 and 4:

  • Turned in our signed parent information sheet and workbook request form.
  • Got credit for having the textbook covered and for completing your 5 question quiz about the course syllabus.
  • Selected a classroom name.
  • BIG review of (1) positive personality traits (2) events/celebrations/gatherings

(3) places and (4) food.

  • We selected a favorite from each of the 4 categories, and wrote &/or drew something about it on each corner of a name plate/card. We’ll use this on Monday to learn about each other then introduce a classmate to the rest of the class.

Period 4 also got to:

  • Survey at least 3 others using their questions about the syllabus.
  • Textbook cover contest.

(Period 2 will do these on Monday.)

  • Do the online lesson from “Discovering Spanish” reviewing farewells.

Homework:

  1. “How to Study” handout: Read and have your parents’ sign.
  2. Parent letter re: correct level placement – also to be signed.
  1. signed.
