Sra. Brown and I are going to take our Spanish students on a field trip to see some theatrical productions. We are soooo excited about doing this. The trip will occur in late April. More details to follow!
I am also planning to take my French students to the Alliance Francaise and to visit a French cafe or restaurant once we get details and approval for the trip.
We will start fundraising for both in the coming weeks!
Mid-terms for all classes will be taking place next week. All 8th grade classes have received their mid-term review sheets. 7th grade Spanish I will receive those on Monday. Students may use their review sheets to study and do that INSTEAD of studying their vocabulary for their study diaries.
Spanish II Mid-term will be Wednesday morning.
Spanish I (8th grade) mid-term will be on Thursday morning
French I (8th grade) mid-term will be on Thursday afternoon
Spanish I (7th grade) mid-term will be on Friday afternoon.

Mid-term exams for A-day classes will be on 2/4 and B-day classes will be on 2/3.
Today was an A-day.
Spanish I today practiced using -ar verbs to talk about what people do and don't do. We played 20 questions using the forms for yo and tu (I and you) and then worked on a conversation from the book. Students also worked on their flashcards for their new vocabulary.
French I today practiced asking and answering the question (What is she/he like?). We made up conversations about famous people and asked/answered the questions. Not all students finished presenting, so we will finish that on Wed. In addition I forgot to take up the homework today- so everyone better have it on Wed.! They have a vocabulary test on Friday, a verb quiz on 2/8/10, and a mid-term exam on 2/4/10. They received their list of verbs today for the 2/8 quiz. They will get the mid-term review sheet on Friday when they are done with their vocabulary test.

New Blog
This is my new blog for all my foreign language students. I hope to use it to enrich your studies and make learning lots of fun.
Today was a good day- we were busy in Spanish I with taking some quizzes and getting ready for Term III. We will be having a Spanish culture day in February, so keep those participation grades up!
In French today we had a cultural celebration and it was great. Kids brought in food to share, we enjoyed some music from Haiti in Creole and French, and we watched some French videos.
Homework was assigned in Spanish I only today- study diary assignments will be due one 2/4/10- they should be completed for 1/21, 1/25, 1/27, 1/29, and 2/2. (Dates will be moved forward one day if we have inclement weather tomorrow.)
