The week of January 21, 2013

Buenas tardes a todos,

Well, this week will be a fast week again after celebrating Martin Luther King day yesterday. Because of the snow last week, our schedule was a bit backed up, so we were not able to have the verb quiz on Friday the 18th like I wanted to do. However, we will be having a quiz tomorrow on conjugating "ar" verbs regular and irregular ones. You need to study the endings and which ones go with what  pronouns. YOu also need to know what the verbs mean. For example, I will give tu with Nadar and you have to write  nadas. Should be easy, if you study. This Friday the 25th, there will be another quiz on the verbs and adverbs of time in sentences, how to make sentences, how to answer questions, and how to conjugate the verbs. Next week, there will be a big test (examen grande) on chapter 3 and all of the above items plus adjectives, para, despues de, antes de, Texas and general cultural notes, the vocabulary of places like cinema, pool, gymnasium, etc, and weather expressions.

I will be staying for extra help Tuesday the 22, and Wednesday the 23 of this week and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Please come if you are having trouble. This is not going away and it is important to "get it", especially the verb conjugations.

This week we will also be making a verb list of all the verbs we have covered so far, doing listening activities,  a whole class activity with adverbs of time and verbs, another activity with verbs and sentences that uses the whole class, a group game of verbs,  writing an essay using photos, book work, sentence warm ups, and 2 quizzes. I think that's good!

La tarea por ésta semana es:

martes noches: pagina 25 ejercicio 14 y pagina 26 - toda la pagina. ¡Estudien por favor! See above.
miércoles noche: Take the "Con qué frecuencia" we worked on in class yesterday and choose ten (10) people and write a sentence about them on the back adding in extra items such as where, with whom, at what time, etc. this will be collected and graded.
jueves noche: pagina 28 en el paquete. !Estudien por favor! See above.
viernes noche: nothing written, however you should be studying chapter 3 for the test next week!

Hasta mañana,   Señora Schneider
