Buenas noches a todos,

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families near and far. It was another nice long weekend with lots of things to do for the upcoming holidays. However, we are not there yet and we need to keep plugging along during the month of December. We are still working with our likes and dislikes and learning how to talk about what we like as well as what other people like. Since last week was a very short week, we finished up a few loose ends and had a quick quiz. This week we will be back to normal as we work with partners, do some writing, finish our listening activities, finish our cultural notes on Puerto Rico, learn about the concept of "de" (most of which we already know) finish our autobiography pictures, present our autobiographies in front of the class, and have one more quiz before the test on chapter 2 next week. We will also have homework and continue to review all our new vocabulary and verbs.

Tarea por la semana del 26 de noviembre:

lunes noche: paquete - pagina 14 ejercicio 11, pagina 20a ejercicio 28, pagina 20v ejercicio 21
martes noche: paquete - pagina 21 - todos los ejercicios
miércoles noche: finish your autobiography picture and practice for your  oral presentation.
jueves noche: paquete - paginas 23 y 24 - todos los ejercicios. Estudien - Hay un examencito mañana.
viernes noche: nada

Next week we will be continuing with our presentations, doing some group games, changing seats, and taking our chapter 2 test probably el miércoles. We will also be reading our on going dialog and watching the video that goes with the chapter.

¡Hasta mañana!   Señora Schneider

Buenas noches a todos,

Hope you all had a good long weekend. Now it is time to get back to work after having a few days off. This week we will be learning about things that we like for  fun and food, learning some new adjectives to go with those items, pick some new partners that we didn't get to pick last week, do some whole class and partner activities with "gusta", finish our listening sheet, and learn how to link all our new information together. We will be continuing with our homework packets and will need to take good notes in order to do our homework well.

Tarea por ésta semana: (homework for this week):

martes noche: Pagina 19v- ejercicios 17 y 18, pagina 14 - ejercicios 9 y 10.
miércoles noche: pagina 18- ejercicios 21 y 22, pagina 20v -  ejercicios 19 y 20.
jueves noche: pagina 16  y 19a - todas las paginas.

There is a possible quiz on this  Friday 11-16 depending on how we  do in class this week. I will let you know as the week goes on. I will be staying after school this week on Tuesday 11-13 until 3:00 pm and Thursday 11-15 until 3:30. None of the teachers will be able to stay on Wednesday as we have a after school mandatory staff meeting probably until 3:00 pm.

!Hasta mañana!   Señora Schneider

¡Hola clase!

This week will be another fun filled week as we are finishing our Day of the Dead presentations, having a quiz on the adjectives, ages, and question words, and learning how to say what we like and don't like in reference to food and entertainment. More new vocabulary, more new adjectives, but fun vocabulary! We will also be getting new partners with map buddies, finishing up our old packet by Wednesday and getting a new one for Thursday night.

Homework for this week: (tarea por ésta semana):

lunes noche: finish paginas 6 y 15. !Estudien porque hay un examencito miércoles!

This will be a quick week with a half day on Tuesday, excitement about the real election and our election in school (good job with the set-up), a quiz on Wednesday, and starting new vocabulary. Don't forget- !no hay escuela el lunes!

Hasta luego,     Señora Schneider
