The Week Before Winter Break

8th grade Spanish students did a great deal of input activities this week one of which featured a short "Toopy y Binoo" episode followed by an reading and writing questionnaire. The link can be found at:

Students also did a "Descripciones" activity where they read paragraph descriptions in Spanish and drew whatever character was being described. Directions were given in written AND orally.

7th grade Spanish students worked primarily with their new unit "Objetos de la Clase." Students have been also learning prepositions to better understand and communicate locations of classroom objects (books are found in the library, pencils are found in school, staples are inside stapelers, etc).

6th grade Spanish students did a mini-comic conversation activity to supplement their unit surrounding courteous expressions. Our focus will shift after the winter break and we will move into how to address certain people in certain situations using the 3 ways to say "you" (Tú, Usted, and Ustedes).

Have a happy holiday and a restful break. I'll see you next year!
