week of Nov 1

Spanish II students are finishing up unit 6, chapter 3 which introduced the preterit (past) tense for the first time.  Their language is taking a big step because they will be able to discuss events that took place in the past...this expands our ability to communicate.  There will be a quiz over irregular -er, -ir verbs in the past, a written homework grade, and a test grade this week.  Please put forth good effort this week...lots of points will be earned toward your class grade.  We will then begin a unit taking place in the country and learn farm related vocabulary and some more past tense verbs. 

Have a safe, long weekend!

Week of Oct. 17

Spanish II students have begun learning the preterit (past) tense so they can discuss activities that occurred in the past.  We have learned numbers...all the way to one million!  We will review early in the week, have a test, and start unit 6 of our book.  Anticipated grades for the week include:

written homework (40 points)
Test over unidad 5, etapa 3 (100 points)

The take home tutorial would be an excellent way to get more practice!
