• I checked off student’s textbook covers as I took roll, and I really I appreciate that almost everyone covered their books. The few who haven’t done this yet can still get full credit tomorrow.

• 2 HANDOUTS:
1. “Workbook letter” for PARENTS TO SIGN & complete the contact information. Please note: the WORKBOOK section should be disregarded. I won’t be charging this class for a workbook.
2. Expresiones para la clase / Helpful Practice Websites

• Libro: Artículo – página 3 - ¡Hagamos conexiones!
I explained to the students in this course they will be required to remember the details from the readings, in the book and from the supplementary materials, for the tests. Not only should they pay attention to the words/meaning but also to the information.
1. Working in pairs, students took turns reading this article aloud to one another, and then wrote down words new to them on their individual vocabulary lists. Together they made an educated guess to its meaning, and then later looked up the meaning to verify their guess.
2. Continued the same approach with vocabulary consulting the list of “Areas de concentración” y “Profesiones” on page 4.
3. I projected a list of “must know” items from pages 3 & 4.
4. Partners asked/answered the questions in Act. P-2, page 4 –working orally.
5. Students then wrote out their own answers to P-2, page 4.

• Repaso de la tarea: we corrected the verb grid from last night, but due to short time, we decided to wait on the workbook page 6 until tomorrow.

• “Pruebita” – As a whole class we orally went through my 10 “test items” based on the white, “Bienvenidos a la clase de español” – class procedures.

• Tarea
1. Workbook Letter / Form: Parents to sign and complete information.
2. Workbook: Study Ordinal Numbers & do exercises on WB7 & 8
3. Verb practice: Workbook – WB11 & 12
