Buenas tardes a todos,

I'm back again with more information on what's been going on in class the last few weeks in between MCAS schedules, which are like half day schedules after the tests, regular half days, and the Memorial Day holiday. We started chapter 5 about the country of Chile with its people, culture, and geography. We have also been working on possessive adjectives, family members, adjectives for family members, family tree organization, new stem changing verbs and notes about cinco de mayo and why it is celebrated.

In the next few days, we will be learning about house vocabulary, chores in a house that family members do, more places to go and directions to places. Our next big project as I mentioned yesterday is the family tree project with a poster, presentation and 5 paragraph essay  with each piece counting as a test grade. We will be going over the rubric again tomorrow in more detail and start the  essay in class also. Everything is due next Tuesday June 3 and you need to be prepared to present your project.I am staying after tomorrow Thursday, May 29 and next Monday June 2 for project questions. Any other work that needs to made up needs to be in by next week by Friday June 6th. I am not accepting anything after that date.

 Tarea por esta semana:

martes noche: paquete nuevo paginas 45 y 55.
miércoles noche:  paquete nuevo paginas 49 #19 y 56 # 16 y17. Yo necesito sus árboles de la familia (rough draft) y el rubric mañana.
jueves noche: pagina 49 # 20, pagina 50 #21.
viernes noche: el proyecto por el 3 de junio. Ustedes necesitan practicar mucho.

¡Buena suerte!  Señora

¡Buenos días a todos!

Sorry I have not been on in a while as I have been having trouble logging into my blogsite. Hopefully, I have it all figured out and can continue for the rest of the year.

My biggest item that about which I want to inform  you and your parents is the 3 part  family project that is due June 3, 2014. You will be making a family poster in Spanish with Spanish family labels, presenting 3 people from your poster in front of the class, and writing about 5 people on your poster in Spanish. It is worth 3 test grades. We will be working on the essay this week in class for one day and one day only. Cut outs of people are available now. You all should have the rubric with the instructions and expectations on it.

Homework tonight is:

New packet (paquete nuevo) paginas 45 y 55 using the notes from classwork today and your book pages 170, 171, 172, and 173 if you did not finish the classwork.

More updates mañana. Señora
