I reinforced what I am looking for in the Progress Report Goals - Reminding students they always have two class meetings to have work signed by parents. Goals and Signatures due on Monday. See yesterday's blog for details. Note: Blogger wouldn't let me post yesterday, and I see it didn't post what I sent on Wednesday. If you're reading this, I got it fixed (:>)

Direct Objects and their Pronouns:
Big review of what we did yesterday and more, too. BLUE packet: Personal A and Direct Object Pronouns Lo, La, Los and Las. We took notes & used highlighters to emphasize the key points. Next we practiced by working through the packet together.

Unit 2 Vocabulary and Lesson Test Review: We carefully went over the these tests - looking for why the answers were what they were AND to double check the corrections for accuracy. I also talked about the importance of DAILY study/review/practice to master skills. It is obvious that many DO this but also that several people do NOT - your Vocabulary test scores are good indicators; two weeks should be plenty of time to learn 40 words.

Irregulary Preterite Practice:
1. Partner question/answer drills - focusing on questions with tú being answered with yo.
2. I asked questions to the whole class and they answered back as a whole.
3. Subject pronoun ball toss conjugation game.

Tarea:
1. Bring your homework due today to get credit & review on Monday.
2. Progress Report w/Goal, Action Plan & Signature
3. WB 55 (Direct Objects) WB 56 (Ser/Ir - pret.) WB 57 (Estar, Poder, Tener - pret.)
