Spanish 3/4:

Jacob got to chose our challenge game today and he chose the dart board game. We all found out that Peter proved to be a very valuable player and group one won his services as well as the challenge. We also discovered that Carrie is really good at Spanish, but needs dart lessons from Peter.

The challenge consisted of turning verbs into command form that we learned yesterday as well as adding the d.o.p.'s when needed. Focused on not changing the pronunciation of the command when adding the d.o.p. That is a common error.

Spanish 2:

We did a review activity that had three steps to it.

1: We played a guessing game about what food I had in my hand from the box of food items. We could only speak Spanish. If you couldn't guess then I would give hints in Spanish to help you all guess. Each person got at least one food item after it was guessed. I would say, ¿Quién quiere el bistec? and the class would have to say...Lo quiero. (keep up those d.o.p.'s until they become fluent.

2. Then we reviewed the vocabulary words by me asking ¿Dónde está or están (food)? Focused on the differece between the "a" and "an" endings. (it-they). The student with the item I said then held up the food and yelled out "aquí" (here) and then everyone would point and say "allí" (there).

3. At the end of the period you have to return the item. You say the word outloud and the class repeats. You then throw the item into the box. If you miss, I throw it back and you have to repeat the word and the class does the same until it gets into the box.

If you were gone you need to do something Spanish food vocabulary related and prove you did it.
