Week in Review

This week the 7th graders created breakfast menus based on their current vocabulary and some other words that they looked up.

Th 8th graders presented athlete trading cards that they began creating last week. They chose a professional Hispanic athlete and found information on where the athlete was born, what sport he or she plays and any notable accomplishments or prizes that the athlete has won.  Many of the cards looked great and I learned a lot about Hispanic athletes in various sports.

Have a great weekend. Stay warm!

Assessments

7th grade: Today the 7th graders took a quiz on food and beverage vocabulary. They learned to say things they like and don't like and will practice that next week in preparation for their next assessment which will be the last week of February.

8th grade: This week we ran into several technology glitches that affected the 8th grade schedule in Spanish (although I think the students were grateful for the delays). Our speaking quiz has yet again been pushed back and we will plan to take it on Tuesday, February 17. Their sports vocabulary quiz will still be on Wednesday, February 18.  They have been great at rolling with the punches and adapting as we go this week!
