We have been meeting each other in our Spanish classes the first week.
We have also been working on our first project of the year, The Libro Abecedario.
Students are creating a themed alphabet book which they will be presenting to the class next week on Thursday and Friday the 8th and 9th of September.

Felices Dias de Vacaciones,
We spent the last two weeks studying food vocabulary and finished with a unit on Las Posadas in Mexico.
Spanish 1-2 has been using the present tense in order to discuss what we eat and drink. When we return we will be using the present tense in order to discuss what we do at school on a regular basis in various different classes.
Spanish 3-4 has been using usted commands talking about food and food preparation. When we return we will be using these commands to tell people what to do in order to do well in the kitchen and at school.
Spanish 5-6 has been using the subjunctive tense in order to express hopes, desires and opinions about what people eat. When we return we will be using the subjunctive in order to offer suggestions about diet and health.
Happy Holidays!!!

We will begin presenting our Bolsa Cafe projects this friday the 13th.
Students were given the rubric last week.
They should be gathering meaningful objects that they can put in their bags.
These objects will be prompts for them to move forward with their presentation.
They will not be able to use any notes. They will be talking about themselves, what they are like and what they like to do. Connections should be made between descriptive words and likes and dislikes.
Students will repeat with regard to someone or something else.

Students have been presenting their Libros Abecedarios over the last week. We have seen and heard some superb, entertaining, artistic and creative work. We will display some of this work at our upcoming Open House on 8 october.
We have also been learning the spanish alphabet as well as the phonemes associated with different letters and letter combinations.
We will begin cracking down with a bit more studying as we roll in to october. Students are responsible for identifying and knowing the spanish speaking countries as well as capitals. The QUIZLET site is a great way to study the capitals and there are other sites that have fun ways to study the maps.
Students will be given their next project at the end of this week. The BOLSA CAFE project involves a two minute introductory presentation in which students use props which they take from a decorated bag in order to talk about themselves. We will be working on the project for two weeks and will begin presentations on october 23.

Bienvenidos al otono!
Students in all clases are working on their Libros Abecedarios.
They will be prepared to present and turn in their libros on 29 sept.
Spanish 1-2 is using their new knowledge of stuff in the world and the articles in their projects.
Spanish 3-4 is using simple sentences in order to describe and tell what stuff does.
Spanish 5-6 will use more complex sentences to describe things and tell what they do, did and used to do.
I am looking forward to students sharing their new knowledge and to the classes soaking up their new words and ideas.
