Buenas noches a todos,

Welcome back from vacation! Hope all of you had a great vacation and are now ready to get back to work, especially in Spanish! Before vacation we were working on finishing up Chapter 3 with new verbs and conjugations, Texas notes, some adverbs of time, new vocabulary, and weather. When we had the snow day and the delay, it put us a bit behind, so we will be wrapping it up this week. We will also be starting chapter 4 about school supplies, courses, more irregular verbs, more vocabulary, more adverbs of time, and more special expressions.

I passed back the Chapter 3 test today and some students should come back to  finish it or do test corrections within the next week. I will be staying after Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday until 3:00 pm each day of this week. I strongly suggest that if you are having trouble or need extra help, please come and see me. Studying each day will help too.

Tarea por esta semana:

lunes noche: papel de "IR" paginas 35 y 45.
martes, miércoles, y jueves noches: paquete nuevo

I will update you tomorrow on the rest of the week when I get a chance to finish running them off and deciding which exercises you need to do.

Gracias, Señora

Buenos dias a todos,

Here we are on the last week before February vacation. This year is flying by fast! We will also have a busy week tying up loose ends from chapter 3 and finishing up our worksheets for the chapter. We will be finishing our battleship and connect 4 games with "AR" verbs, finishing our sentence sheet, finishing our listening activities for the chapter, competing the cultural notes on Texas, practicing more adverbs and verb conjugations with a whole class activity,  collecting the packets,  doing our February calendar and birthdays, writing and talking about a photo sheet, reading the chapter dialog about La Profesora, Marcos, Sofia, y Nicolas, watching the video and playing Valentine's bingo in Spanish. We will still have homework, but no quizzes. I am hoping to pass back the chapter tests by the end of this week and some other papers too. The students received their oral presentations with the drawings of themselves. Overall, they were good, so I am planning to put the drawings up in the hallway.

We will be starting the next chapter, chapter 4 when we get back from vacation. The students are doing well in general, but still need to study to keep up. I am staying Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week until 3:00pm. Please take advantage of the extra help, especially after passing back some quizzes from yesterday. Hope to see you!

Tarea por esta semana:

lunes noche: calendario de febrero - 8 fotos de amor -el dia de San Valentin.
martes noche: finish the sentence sheet if you have missing sentences -41 thru 45. Collecting this week.
miércoles noche: Escriban 10 frases de la actividad en clase hoy.
jueves noche: el papel de PONGA,  el dia de San Valentin. Usen el papel con el vocabulario.
viernes noche: nada

Buena suerte,  Señora Schneider

Buenas noches a todos,

Well, we are going to have another busy week this week as we finish up chapter 3 and working with "AR" verbs, adverbs of time,  the verb to go = IR and the verb to play =JUGAR. We are also finishing  up our oral presentations about our autobiographies, weather notes, Texas notes, listening activities, and   forming sentences and questions using our new verbs and vocabulary. We will also be playing some verb games such as connect four, battleship, and group verbs. We will be having a quiz tomorrow on the verb "IR", "JUGAR" and how to conjugate "AR"verbs, the weather and  the vocabulary in the chapter. These will also be included on the  chapter 3 test on Friday February 7th.

Last week, we had a quiz on how to conjugate "AR" verbs and what they mean. This week's quiz which is tomorrow will be on the same thing and "IR", "JUGAR", the adverbs of time and how to put everything in a sentence. The test will be on all of this plus Texas cultural notes, weather, the word "a" and how it changes to al, a la, a los and a las with "IR" and "JUGAR".

I am staying after today and tomorrow this week but that is all because Wednesday is a half day and Thursday I need to go to the doctor after school. Friday is not good either. Hopefully, next week will be a better week to stay.

Some of you are having trouble keeping up with the new vocabulary and verb conjugations. You all need to review and study to make sure you know what you are doing. It is getting harder, but I know you all can do it if you put in a bit more effort. Hopefully, the oral presentations that count as a test grade and the drawings that count as a quiz grade will bring your grade up and not down.

Tarea por esta semana:

lunes noche: el papel de vocabulario y frases 23 a 27 en español. ¡Estudien!
martes noche: 5 mas frases - 28 a 32. ¡Estudien para el examencito mañana!
miércoles noche: frases 33 a 38. ¡Estudien!
jueves noche: frases 39 a 45. ¡Estudien para el examen grande mañana!
viernes noche: nada

Buena Suerte - Señora Schneider
