El 25 de septiembre

****Español I (HS)

We have been finishing Etapa Preliminar with a great big "Olé!"  The quizzes were posted and the dialogues were completed and presented.  The students memorized a short dialogue with a partner. 

NO homework this evening in observance of Yom Kippur.

Those that would like to get a head start on Etapa 1, can be working on , column 1. p. 47 flash list
These are due on Friday, September 28.

****Español Beginning....(6)

We have been getting to know one another and have begun to have a common class vocabulary.  We've learned the rules and most of the procedures for class. 

We will have many daily quizzes, I know it seems like only a few scores now, but that will change.  We will have some lively comprehension-based lessons.
