Check out this video about the iOs app students can get for the iPad! This is a great way to practice your skills so you won't lose them over the summer and will need less review when we return to school in the fall! This app surrounds mostly conversational Spanish, and can be used very practically. Have a wonderful summer!

Happy Summer!

8th grade Spanish students are learning about the Mexican celebration of the Quinceañera. Students are reading and discussing concepts of "la festejada," "damas y chambelanes," "brindis," "padrinos," "bolos," as well as special traditions such as "The Changing of the Shoes," and "The Last Doll."

7th grade Spanish students are learning how to conjugate AR, ER, and IR verbs. They are practicing orally and in reading/writing passages. They are taking readings they have already worked with and talking about situations in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd person.
*** Moore Time Spanish is in its last weeks of meetings. Meetings will alternate between Miss Parker and Ms. Twomey. New members are always welcome! This is a great opportunity to practice conversational Spanish in a relaxed setting with friends. It is also a wonderful way to earn extra credit in foreign language!

6th grade Spanish students are continuing to learn about two important Spanish festivals this week:

* La Tomatina

* The Running of the Bulls
Students compared and contrasted these festivals and discussed what they did/did not like about them in simple Spanish sentences.

Beginning of June

8th grade Spanish students did the following this week:
* ¿Quién soy? (Who am I?) Students figured out people/artists/groups by reading or hearing descriptions in Spanish.
* ¡Guacamole! Students created their own oral MovieTalk as an assessment to synthesize their MovieTalk unit.

7th grade Spanish students finish reading their novela "Las aventuras de Isabela." This week we completed the following:
* Capítulo diéz: Sam
* La Lucha Students played a game in conjugation and watched a "Conjugation Back" video clip to help them clarify in their Spanish responses.
