Spanish II 09-21-07

• Received printed progress reports to: (1) communicate students’ progress to them and to their parents (2) have students think about their progress and write goals re: their achievement and (3) clean up any entry errors that may have occurred.

Note: I have some papers with no names on them: check these if you’re missing credit for work you know you turned in – especially the letter to parents re: appropriate level of study.

• Due to yesterday’s evacuation at the end of the day, I postponed homework and tests scheduled for today as students may not have been able to retrieve study materials from their lockers.

• Period 2 filled in their “Hallway names” and “Classroom names” on a Quia game so they can begin learning them – I made one for period 4, as they attended an assembly welcoming visiting students from Japan.

• Quia name games:
