1. Reviewed the TWO main verbs in Spanish that mean, "To Be": Ser & Estar - Using the "To Be Packet" (blue) distributed in class yesterday, we went over the notes on forms and usage, as well as reviewed some of the practice exercises.

2. Students brainstormed verb "Tener" in special expressions that are also expressed with "To Be" in English. Afterwards, we continued on in the "To Be" packet focusing on these special expressions, completing "Practice C", after Study Point #5 (page 76)

3. Reviewed "To Be" with weather expressions as expressed with the verb "Hacer" - in Spanish we say "The weather is doing hot, cold, wind, etc." - see the packet, bottom of page 76 - top of pg. 77.

4. Quick review of the FOUR WAYS TO SAY "TO BE", and then applied them in Exercise A (packet pp. 77 -78)
