• New seating chart today! No longer in alphabetical seating by our last names.
• I distributed our HALL PASSES, which we immediately signed in ink.
• Took our Mexico-Central America countries and capitals map test today, and then corrected it in class for homework points. Practiced all of the countries & capitals from the Americas using the Capital Raps song. Remember the entire map test is on Friday.
• We reviewed the vocabulary we’ve learned so far:

53 descriptive adjectives re: personality, appearance and colors.

• Reviewed the alphabet (HANDOUT) and how to spell out our classroom names in Spanish.
• Reviewed numbers 0-1.000 (HANDOUT) and then practiced them with our phone numbers.
• Oral: Conversation exchanging names & telephone numbers (in Spanish) to write on our syllabus to use as our Study Buddies.
• Handout: How to study. Several study strategies you can use to be successful in this course.
• I went over the homework (tarea)
• Tarea:

1. Practice the nationality adjectives (white part of chart on page 6) using study strategy #1 from the handout you got today. = Write out each new word to be learned 8 times. Hint: Say it aloud as you write and pay attention to what it LOOKS like and SOUNDS like as you write it. Try to match sounding out the syllables with your pronunciation of them.

2. Print YOUR name on your handout and have one of your parents sign it, please.

3. Rehearse your POEM for Wednesday.
