Feliz Cinco de Mayo

1. Student's turned in last night's homework - vocabulary sheet based on the "mini-lesson" prior to 3A - pages 126 & 127 = The rooms of the house and household chores. AS well as questions to be answered in Spanish at the bottom of the second page.

2. Quick study refresher before taking the 2B Vocabulary/Spelling Test (Really part of the Lesson 2A test, but yesterday we decided to divide the test into 2 parts).

3. I treated the students to some classic fare of Puebla, Mexico - site of the defeat of the French in a battle on the 5th of May, 1862

4. While eating, we watched part of Linda Ronstadt's concert, Canciones de mi padre - her tribute to the traditional music, songs and dance of Mexico.

5. Partner Oral Practice: Questions and Answers in the Preterite - using the 2-sided handout distributed last week, we practiced with rotating partners. Practice more on your own so you will be really confident for next week's ORAL TEST.

Tarea:
Prepare the Bingo Sheet "La casa y los muebles" as we have done with the others - Each column of items relates to the same column below. Write your answers in SPANISH & ENGLISH.
