A Couple of Changes

8th grade: Due to visits to Portland, Deering, and Casco Bay high schools and a snow day, 8th graders' gallery walk of their Quinceañera projects will be postponed until Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. While this is not ideal, it will act as a review and as a synthesis of what we have been learning. When the gallery walk is complete we will then dive into our next unit: MovieTalk.

7th grade: We are still in the beginnings of our Conjugation Unit, which always starts with "pronombres" (pronouns). Monday, February 24th, there was a quiz featuring Spanish pronouns. It is imperative that students master their pronouns before they learn to conjugate. We will begin a major project for this unit this week.

6th grade: Students got back their "Partes del cuerpo" tests this week. If they are unhappy with their grade they are invited to make up the exam any time after school or during Moore Time. I have encouraged students to do this sooner the better. The next unit requires heavy usage of body parts, colors, adjectives, and numbers as we will be describing animals physically, and using stories to acquire more language.
