First quarter mid-term...already?

It has been a busy couple of weeks,but we have survived Homecoming week and the first quarter is half done already. How time flies. Here is what we have been doing in Spanish classes recently.

  Spanish 1: We finished our introduction vokis. Here are a couple of examples:
 In the past week we have been working on learning things found in the classroom. Next up, counting and telling time.

Spanish 2:  We finished our Pixton Comics project which involved using many question words.  Here is an example:

In the past week we have practiced giving descriptions and have written poems describing ourselves. We are currently working on videos in which we talk about ourselves and various aspects of our lives.

Spanish 3:  Between Homecoming activities and other field trips, it seems that we haven't had much classtime lately.  We have continued working on our detailed description skills.  We made word clouds about ourselves using descriptive words and phrases which became the headings on our webpages.  Here is an example:

Students have been working on designing a Wanted poster.  They continue to independently read a novel in the Spanish language as well as post to their individual blogs in Spanish.  Hopefully we will fit in some new music this week, as well as begin work on a new project.

Spanish 4:  We are continuing our study of foods of the Hispanic world.  We have taken a look at some of typical foods of Peru (including sipping some Inca Cola) and Spain (trying gazpacho tomorrow!)  Our unit will soon be ending with the viewing of the Spanish langage film, Canela.

More updates in a couple of weeks.
