Snapshot of the week

This week the 8th graders finished up their skeletons for el día de los muertos. Next week all of the Spanish students will vote on the skeletons that are the most festive for el día de los muertos.  The 8th graders also took their final review quiz as we have finished reviewing the material that we learned last year. Now they will be ready for this material that will be on their Spanish I midterm.  Now onto new words and grammar concepts!

The 7th graders finished up a chapter on describing themselves and others. They did a short writing assignment in which they described themselves and some of their likes.  I was very impressed with a number of the writing samples that the students turned in.  If students want a better score on their on their assignment, it can be rewritten and turned in by Wednesday of next week.  The 7th graders will also finish a unit of our book on Wednesday with a chapter test.
  I hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe long weekend!
