Spanish 3/4:
Practiced simple table conversations and telling the waiter that you were missing somethings as well as asking him to bring it to you.
Then we played the dart board game with those structures.
¿Con qué se hace...(n)? Se hace(n) con...
¿Has probado...? Sí lo he probado.
Me falta(n)... ¿Me lo trae por favor? Sí se lo traigo en seguida.
If you were gone you need to come see me and have a five minute conversation with the above structures to make up your points.
Spanish 2:
Learn "El Burrito de Belén" Compared it to our Christmas songs. Watched at least four versions of the song. Sang along and some classes even danced! The five versions were shown with the purpose of see an old version, a "hip" version, a typical version, a school assembly in Mexico, and a home video. The main idea is that we all have traditions that are unique and make us who we are, and that it is okay to see what others do differently and have fun with it. Even though we all are different, we do similar things.
If you were gone you need to watch the youtube videos on the side of my blog and then comment on which version you liked the most and why as well as which version you didn't prefer and why. Then I want you to comment on what this reminds you of in you culture or possibly traditions within your family.
We then had a challenge. Second and Third periods played pictionary with the new vocab 1-39. 5th period studied their words, and sixth period threw a ball around the room and if they pronounced the vocab word wrong, they were eliminated from the game.

Spanish 3/4:
We separated into two groups. It will be goup one and group two. Group four now became group three.
-Got in little groups and used our table settings to work on the talking about what is missing. The main goal was to get practice with saying, "Me falta(n) _______. ¿Me lo trae por favor? The waiter would then say. "Sí, se lo traigo en seguida." Remember that it won't always be "Lo" because it can also be los, la, or las depending on the thing or things we are missing.
Dart Board Game Challenge. Focusing on answering the questions, ¿Con qué se hace?, ¿Has probado?, and ¿Qué me falta?
Spanish 2:
Focused on the vowels "A,E,I,O,U" The consanants "r, rr, d, t, h" With the vocabulary.
Went through the vocabulary using the pictures for the new vocab.
Homework: (except 3rd period) 5 questions and answers in complete Spanish sentences. 1-2 needs to ask question "What can yo do/buy/see in (pick a place)?" The answer needs answer using a logical word in a complete sentence. For the questions 3-5 needs to ask the qustion, "Where can I buy/(do something)/see (vocabulary word)?" The answer " You can buy (it, them) at (store).
Period 2: Bahumbug! Your homework was doubled due to complaining about the first homework assignment. Your 1-5 follows the same pattern as the 1-2 above, and your 6-10 follows the same patters as the 3-5.

3/4:
Finished making the table settings for each student. (see the blog for the 15th).
Began to work with the question ¿Qué me falta? We also worked with the pronouns (te, le, nos, les) Focused on answering te falta or te faltan. I drew all the table settings on a whiteboard and then erased on or multiple items. Then the students would have to answer what items where gone using that same structure discussed above.
2:
Some classes needed to finish grading the test, while others already finished.
We then used pictures to start becoming familiar with the words on the list. The goal was to focus on reading pronunciation of the single vocabulary words. We covered words 1-39 from our list. After that we started working on review structures to ask about the vocabulary words. Here are some of the questions we worked with today:
1. ¿Qué puedo comprar en el supermercado?
2. ¿Qué puedo hacer en el banco?
3. ¿Dónde puedo comprar (ver,etc)?
4. ¿Adónde vas para comprar (ver, etc.)?
If you were gone, your assignment is to write 5 questions, in Spanish, using at least two of the questions above and then answer them in complete sentences.
You may not use this as your assignment, but you need to follow the example below:
Example: ¿Qué puedo comprar en el supermercado? Puedes comprar los comestibles.

Used the menu from "El Mirador" and put any of the English from the menu into Spanish.
If you were gone you need to get the menu and begin to put it into Spanish.

Finished up the written part and began the speaking part. Should finish with testing tomorrow.
While we were doing the individual testing, we had a list of all the new words and structures for the newest unit. You are to use pages 316-323 in the book to find the Spanish words for the words on the list. It is best if you just translate them onto the paper that I gave you, right next to the word.

We finished our class tournament. Carrie was the champion. Congrats! While we were finishing the challenge, everyone worked on and most finished the restaurant scene. Those that got finished were given the menu from "El Mirador" and were told to begin to put any of the English from the menu into Spanish. We will continue with this task tomorrow.
If you were gone you need to get the menu and begin to put it into Spanish.

We had two things going on today. We started the day studying the vocabulary words and structures in small groups. Some people used whiteboards and others spoke. We formed a 14 bracket, double elimination, tournament. While you were still in the running you were studying your words. Once you lost you paired up with the next person to lose and did the following activity that we will work on tomorrow.
Write a dialogue between you and your partner at a restaurant in Mexico. Include a waiter or waitress in this scene. I said scene because you will be writing this in play format. Paige and Kayla will work together. If one is not here then come see me to find out who your partner(s) will be. To make up today's points you will have to do something Spanish related outside of class and prove that you did it.
Example:
Pedro: Marcos, ¿Has probado el flan?
Marcos: No, no lo he probado, ¿Con qué se hace?
etc. etc. etc...
The idea is to use as many of the vocabulary words you can. Make sure to underline or highlight the words you use. We will be working on this and presenting them tomorrow.
Lisha, Jacee, Carrie, Nathan, and Jacob are still in the running for the class championship of this unit's vocabulary.
2:
Began the testing process for the unit on medicine and health. We will finish the writing section tomorrow and begin the oral interviews. We will take as much time as needed for the next few days in order to finish the testing process. We will be working on next chapter's vocabulary as well as doing a small listening activity while we all do our individual speaking parts.
If you were gone you need to schedule a time to make up the test with me. Please write your name on my calendar on the wall behind my desk. Put your name on the date you are coming and make sure you include the time and reason you are coming.

Played a challenge. We did the grab game. Cut out flashcards, got a partner from a different team and placed the cards on the two desks (Picture/English side up). I then said the Spanish word and the first to grab it with their pen kept the flashcard and the winner was the person with the most flashcards at the end of the game. If you were gone, you need to study your flashcards in my classroom ten minutes before school starts.

3/4:
We worked with the vocabulary words from our flashcards. We formed two circles (one inner and one outer) of seven people. The inside taught their words and the outsider circle used the whiteboards to write draw the words (when possible, if not they translated) The second round they spelled the words correctly.
Homework is to write what is in the following dishes: guacamole, chiles rellenos, flan, tacos, enchiladas, un pastel.
Worked with “se hace, se hacen”
If you were gone you need to do the homework assignment as well as study your flashcards for at least 20 minutes.
2:
With partners we finished the speaking parts from 288-289 and 292-293. We then did the finished the written questions without a partner for those same pages. We turned in 5-7 and 11-14. If you were gone you need to check out a book and do 1-14 on those pages and turn in the same written sections. These are critical for the test on Tuesday the 9th of December.
We then continued in a whole group activity, using the book. I drew names randomly and those people had to do the part from the book out loud as the class followed along. We started on 299 and finished at 300 #3.
If you were gone you need to write all of the conversations out and complete the activities up to number 3 and turn in.
