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!

Upcoming Assessments

7th Grade:  We have a vocabulary quiz on Tuesday, January 13. The quiz will cover Describe Classroom Objects, Describe Classes and Places in School from our new U2L2 vocabulary list. Today in class the 7th graders made review quizzes on quizlet.com that they can use to help them study this week.

8th Grade:  This week we continue reviewing for the Spanish I Midterm Exam which the students will take January 12-14.
