¡Hola!

Today we had a quiz on the 6-box conjugation chart for AR verbs!  Students did very well. 
We practiced the forming of the AR verbs in games of battle ship. 

La Tarea: Study your Etapa 2.1 vocabulary tonight. Although nothing will be collected tomorrow, you will be better prepared for class and our upcoming vocabulary quiz.  No homework tonight----Hasta mañana




Español beginning--

We lost some time last week because of the assembly (anti-bullying, a very worthy topic!).  So the boys were given a pre-test instead to show me how well they know the chapter vocabulary.  We were not ready for the quiz.  The last two lessons need more work.  Practice at home and we will do some warm up and practice in class on Thursday with a brief end of the class quiz.

**see el 11 de diciembre for vocab...
