If you were gone you need to take notes from the blog, schedule a time to meet with me if you don't understand what was covered. Then you need to get a copy of the game and pick five of the boxes to write the sentences in Spanish.

Spanish III/IV:

1. Began the class story titled, "El día fantástico de Whittle"

The winning group began the story:

Grupo 4:

En la mañana él señor Whittle se despertó, cantando y bailando a la canción “Burrito Sabanero.”

2. Q & A: Qué hiciste/haces antes de/después de...?

Focused on antes de (before) and después de (after) and figured out that when you use them the verb has to be in the infinitive form just like hay que, vale la pena, para, and al.

3. Scategories #3
Infintive reflexive verbs, present and past tense yo.

Example:

Infinitive: lavarse
Present: me lavo
Past: me lavé

If you were absent you need to take notes on the new concept. &

Translate these three sentences: I dry myself, after bathing myself. I brush my teeth before going to bed. After showering, I dress myself. &

Write out the infinitive, prensent and past yo forms for the following verbs:

To wake oneself up, to dry oneself, to bathe oneself, to lay oneself down, to dress oneself.
