Welcome Back!

 I have to admit that I was grateful for a few extra days home with my little guy to end our Winter Break since we came back on Wednesday.   However, it was nice to get back into a routine and to see all of the Spanish students again!

7th Grade:  We started Unidad 2 Lección 2 this week.  Next Thursday, January 16 there will be a vocabulary quiz on the sections "Describe Classroom Objects" and "Places in School" from the vocabulary list. That will be the last big grade for the 2nd quarter so use it as an opportunity to either maintain your grade or to boost it up.  If you are turning in a Request to Retest form for the Unidad 2 Lección 1 test, it is due on Monday.

8th Grade: We began Unidad 5 Lección 2 this week. The students have been working with party planning vocabulary and wrote short stories about planning a party using their vocabulary and the irregular verbs that we learned this week.  Next week we will focus on getting ready for the listening and reading portions of our Spanish Midterm Exam which will be on January 22 and 23.  The students should be using their review materials to study for the exam.
