Thursday and Friday

On thursday we used activity 4 to do the dialogue in activity 5. We also enjoyed a performance by Dylan and Jackson. Then we had circle time and listened to a story called "Y Pensar que lo Vi por la Calle Porvenir" (And to Think that I Saw It on Mulberry Street) by Dr. Seuss. We listened to the story and wrote down what we thought was happening.

On Friday we finished the story, and then watched the video in english and compared how well we did! Most of you were pretty surprised to see how well you did.

After finishing the story, we had "recess" and played Futbol. When we play futbol we need to narrate what we are doing so we learned the words:
Driblo: I dribble
Lanzo: I kick/throw
Paso: I pass
Tiro: I shoot
Bloqueo: I block
Atrapo: I catch
Doy Toques: I juggle

We played boys versus girls and the GIRLS WON!!!!

On Tuesday we will be going to the Taco Bus so we can order our lunches in spanish. This is not going to be happening during class, but during lunch. Bring $$$!

Choose three locations.
La Biblioteca

lunes el 14 de marzo

Spelling test was rescheduled for tomorrow.

Today we finished playing Chutes and Ladders. Everyone got a lot better at telling time! The game went quicker too because we had TWO die. In the last round, Luke limpié el baño and was able to climb the ladder to the second to last square... but Rachael was already there!! Rachael won by having to tell the time: 8 o'clock in the morning. Congradulations Rachael! No homework tonight.

I am missing a lot of buildings, which upsets me because we are going to have a hard time completing tomorrow's activity with half of out city missing. I made it very clear that they were due on Monday. NO EXCEPTIONS. I still expect you to turn in your building. You will receive half credit. I am missing buildings from four people. I hate for this to bring down your grade, however my instructions were clear. No one else can take the credit for your irresponsibility. You are past the age of needing someone to hold your hand, especially those of you who are seniors.

Tomorrow we will take the Spelling Test, finish activity 4 on page 127, and begin learning the vocabulary on pages 130-131. Tomorrow we will learn:
el centro
el supermercado
la farmacia
el correo,
la tienda de equipo deportivo
el banco
el zoológico
el consultorio
el médico
el dentista


These we will learn on Wednesday:
la floristería
estación de bomberos
estación de servicio
la tienda de vaqueros
quiosco de periodicos
monumento

y la biblioteca

viernes el 11 de marzo

Today was a review day. We played Chutes and Ladders. In order to roll the dice, you had to tell the time on the card. If you landed on a space that said you did a chore, you moved up the ladder. If you didn't do a chore, you went down the chute. We are going to continue this game on Monday, so I hope you remember what space you were on!!

Monday we also have a spelling test! Eeeeek!!

You have 19 words (or phrases). THey are also posted here so look a few posts back for your vocab!

Your homework is also due on Monday. REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR CARDBOARD BOX! We can't begin out activity until we have all the boxes!

jueves el 10 de marzo

Today we worked on telling time. I gave everyone a worksheet to complete WITHOUT notes... it was not graded, but will be counted for participation.

Also, you guys began working on Activity 4 in on page 127 in pairs. Allee, Ari and Tori were gone today, so Ari and Allee can work together on this. Tori, you will have to do it on your own. If you have any questions, Taylor can help you or you can post a comment.

Once again, your only homework is the box! So, if you are going to be gone on Monday and Tuesday MAKE SURE TO GET IT TO ME BEFORE YOU LEAVE!!!! You can either turn it in early, or ask Mr. Mehr to let you in on Sunday Morning before you leave to drop it off. i have told him there might be some of you that will need in. BUT YOU HAVE TO REMIND HIM!!

See you tomorrow!

Tarea para Miercoles el 9 de Marzo

What? There was class today? Yes. Just because you skipped does not mean you didn't have homework due today and you don't have homework due tomorrow. Gee I feel terrible.

Today I taught you guys how to tell time. Check out page 127 in the book. Please complete Activity 3 and have it finished for class tomorrow.

Also, we have ONE homework item for the rest of the week... we are creating a cardboard-box-city.... You will have to choose a store (I have the list) and then I will give you a box, and you ned to decorate the exterior of the box to look like your location in the city. Do not put anything inside the box because I will be filling them with things. You can look at my "Teatro" box as an example!

Your Box Building will be due on Monday. EVEN IF YOU AREN'T HERE!! OH NO!!! Ari had some ideas... finish it by friday, OR ask Mr. Mehr to let you into the building, before you leave on sunday, to drop it off.

Saludos,
