7th Grade: Next Friday, March 7, the 7th grade classes will have a quiz on conjugating regular -er and -ir verbs. We will spend time in class next week reviewing, but the students should spend time outside of class making sure they can identify the infinitives and conjugate the verbs.
8th Grade: Next Friday, March 7, the 8th grade classes will have a quiz on saber vs. conocer & vocabulary. Students should review the conjugations of the verbs (remember that they both have irregular yo forms) and should know the uses for each verb.

Week in Review
We accomplished a lot this week since Mother Nature didn't interfere with our school days! Both the 7th graders and 8th graders did unique assessments this week.
7th: This week the 7th graders took a vocabulary quiz on our new vocabulary. They also finished the rough drafts of their writing quizzes in which they wrote a newspaper article about their school day. They then spent some time in the lab working on their revised drafts and making them into actual newspaper articles.
8th: The 8th graders spent the first part of the week preparing for their speaking assessment on household chores. Having a conversation in Spanish is harder than just asking and answering questions. The 8th graders did a nice job with their quizzes. Next week we'll take a look at the notes from our conversations so they'll know in what areas they can improve before the next speaking assessment. They are also working on a web quest researching the difference between staying in a hotel or an apartment when on a long vacation. I'm interested to see what they find!

Week in review
It feels like we got so much done this week, but that's probably just because we were able to have school all week!
7th: The 7th graders took their test to end unit 2 on Monday. Many of them got their best test grade yet! Request to Retest for students who got a C+ or lower will be due next Wednesday, February 12. We will also have a vocabulary quiz on Wednesday the 12th on the vocabulary that the students got on Monday.
8th: The 8th graders are eagerly awaiting their scores from their midterm exams from DGS. I can't wait to see how they did either. Today they took a test to finish Unit 5 in the book. Next Thursday and Friday, February 13 & 14 they will have a speaking quiz in which they will chat with me about different chores that they and various family members do around the house.
