Buenas noches a todos,

After having a numbers quiz last Friday, we will now have an expressions quiz on Tuesday. We have been practicing these basic greetings, goodbyes, nice to meet you, how are you and the responses and other little expressions that will be on a matching quiz. Everyone has a typed review sheet that we reviewed in class today. Tonight's homework will also help review. We will also be having our first chapter quiz on Friday of this week on the same expressions plus "where are you from?" and the responses.

We will be brainstorming Spanish capitals and countries and using them in our conversations this week with the other expressions that we know. We will be learning more facts about Spain, do some listening activities, some partner activities, and learn how to recognize subject and verbs in our sentences.

Now that the cold and flu season is here and many students have been out for a few days already, it is very important that you all look at the blog to try to keep up with the homework and see what we are doing in class so that you can keep current and not get too far behind. We almost always take a few notes each day in class, so you should check with a friend in your class to get the notes. I usually stay after school 2 or 3 times a week so that students can make up work or come for extra help. You may also come before homeroom to make up something that only takes a few minutes to do. There is no reason why anyone should fall behind in my class.

Buenos dias a todos,

This week we have some outside school activities going on which is affecting our Spanish and school  schedule. This week we have a half day on Tuesday, a magazine drive on Tuesday, Reading testing on Tuesday, plus no homework on Monday and Tuesday nights because of the Jewish holiday observations. So,  therefore, we will not have any classes on Tuesday. However, our schedule gets back to normal on Wednesday and so begins the homework and back to a normal routine.

This week we will be reviewing numbers, expressions, greetings and goodbyes, plus learning how are you and the responses, choosing buddy clock partners, writing dialogs and performing dialogs. We started learning facts about Spain and will continue to do so for the next week. We will also be having a short quiz this week on the numbers. Last week we made calendars in Spanish and practiced the numbers and days of the week and this week we have been practicing the alphabet and numbers with our "placas" or license plates. We should be ready for Friday's number quiz to 100.

Homework for this week:

Wednesday night (miércoles noche): Packet- page 1v exercise #3, page 2v exercises 4,5,6 (whole page)
Thursday night (jueves noche): packet- page 1a exercise #2, page 2a ex# 4, page 3v ex# 7.

STUDY FOR NUMBER QUIZ ON FRIDAY!

Hasta luego.      Señora Schneider

¡Hola Clase!

We are off to a good start in our clase de español! So far we have learned the alphabet, numbers to 100, the days of the week, the colors,  the months, some weather,  basic greetings and goodbyes, birthdays, international symbols, calendars, some animals, and some cultural facts about languages.  I hope that you are having fun and learning at the same time.

We will be having homework Monday through Thursday most weeks and very rarely homework on the weekends. We will be taking notes, doing listening activities, writing dialogs, working with partners and groups for class activities, and having quizzes and tests from time to time. Next week I will begin posting the homework and other information for the week. Until then....... ¡Adios!  Señora Schneider
