Early October

8th grade Spanish students were assessed in their ability to tell time in Spanish; they also were assessed orally in how to ask about time-related questions. Students were able to begin their next unit by the end of the week which is "Cuentos" or stories. Students read Spanish TPR (Total Physical Response" stories and learn a new structure with each tale. This week's story was:
* Juliette quiere un coche

7th grade Spanish students continued their TPR unit. This week we read:
* El hombre rico
Students learn different structures in Spanish with each chapter. Students are asked guiding questions both written and orally and are asked to act in different scenarios each chapter.

6th grade Spanish students have been learning about appropriate times to use "Tú" and "Usted" in Spanish. Both are ways of saying "You" in Spanish (with Tú being informal and Usted being formal). Students have been practicing when to use each, and with whom.
