JueVES EL 14 DE ABRIL

Hola
Today we worked on reviewing vocabulary for monday's test. I have packets for you when you get to class.

Viernes, Lunes, y Martes Ay Caramba!

Mis Disculpas, i did ot write on the blog in the last couple days... and we have done so much!!

El viernes, Sr. Lingle was your substitute...
You worked on your Direct Object Pronoun packet.

El lunes, We worked more on the packet. We then watched "Gramactiva" for the chapter, which went over Directo object pronouns... and introduced you to the easy ones: me, te, and nos.

me invitas = you invite me
te invito = i invite you
los invitamos = we invite them
nos invitan = they invite us.

you then needed to complete all the ones in the packet that we skipped. The packet was turned in on tuesday.

El martes we corrected the last sections and turned in the packet. Then we watched the rest of the "gramactiva" which reviewes the irregular preterite verbs.

Then we watched "En busca de la verdad" (page 150-151) and answered Comprendiste #1-8.
El miercoles, we watched "En Busca de la Verdad" again, but this time with a script. We answered some questions in order to understand what is going on... this is important because you will be continuing this videomisterio for the rest of the semester.

After that we turned to page 146, Your homework is to read the Lectura and answer the 6 questions under Comprendiste.

We will have a test on Monday.

6 y 7 de Abril

for the last two days we have worked on a packet with exercised on changing direct objects to direct object pronouns. You will finish the packet tomorrow with Mr. Lingle.

Oye Chicos! Today we learned about OBJETOS DIRECTOS!!

The only one that is weird is "Lo" because the other three are "La" "Las" and "Los"

In English, this topic makes sense:

Did you see Ana?
you=subject
see (with the helping verb that they don't use in Spanish)=verb
Ana= direct object

but you can of course always change a noun to a pronoun:

Yes I saw her.
her= direct object pronoun.

So lets look at this same sentence in Spanish:

¿Tú viste a Ana?
Tú=sujeto
viste=verbo
Ana = objeto directo

Podemos cambiar el nombre a un pronombre...
Sí, la vi.
la= pronombre de objeto indirecto

Let’s try it with each of the pronouns:

1. ¿Él tuvo el libro? No, no lo tuvo.
2. ¿Los estudiantes comieron las hamburguesas? Sí, las comieron.
3. ¿Compramos los videojuegos? No, no los compramos.

Notice, the pronoun goes BEFORE THE CONJUGATED VERB!!! (that is different than in English… so pay attention to it.

I wish I could say it stops there, but it doesn’t. If you have two verbs in a sentence, one conjugated and one not, then you can play around with the location of the pronoun. For example:

I could not see it (the movie) = No, no la pude ver. OR = No, no pude verla.
I have to read it (the book) = Lo tengo que leer. OR = Tengo que leerlo.

Notice that your two options are to put it in front of the conjugated verb, like normal, or you can attach it to the end of the verb in the infinitive!! (That seems more normal to us, because it follows English. It is also what you will hear most often)

*What if the verb is a COMMAND? Like “Read it” or “Do it” or “Look at it”??
Then you attach it to the end of the verb in the command form:
“Léalo” “Hazlo” “Míralo” But this is for another time.

Buenas Tardes Chicos!

hoy, trabajamos en nuestros cuentos. If you needed to finish writing your final draft, you did so. If you needed to type it, you did so, if you needed to finish your pictures, you did so. Because we ran into some computer errors, some of you were unable to finish your final products. I UNDERSTAND! Just get it in tomorrow. Some of you also didn't get your pictures finished... turn those in tomorrow too.

Soon we will be leaving our city in the dust... so lets get our stories finished so we can make our book!

Tomorrow.... we will work on page 138.

April Fools

Today was Music Friday!!!! All about Gloria Estephan! check out her new song with pitbull called "No Llores" :)

30th of March... out like a lamb.

Hello, My internet wasn't working last night, so I did not get your post up until today.

Thursday in class we finished our worksheet from wednesday. Then I passed out all your stories. I want you to add "time words" into your stories. It could be things on the worksheet like "First" "Then" "Later" "Much Later" and "Finally" or you could use actually use times like "at eight o'clock in the morning..."

After you finished writing your new rough draft, I gave you a white piece of paper to start drawing your illustrations on. Your illustrations need to be in comic strip form. At least 5 frames (One for where your character started, one for each of the locations, and one for where he is "right now") The catch is, all of the buildings in your pictures must be the pictures from Nuestro Centro (our downtown)... the one in the classroom.

Your last rough drafts are due today and your final drafts will be due on monday (I will correct them during class today.)

Mr. Lingle is going to do Music Friday with you today! Feels like its been forever!

Also, remember to bring $$$ for the taco bus and meet me on the upper deck at 11:45. If you are not there at 11:45 we will leave without you!
