Spanish II:
Speaking activity: As a class we named all the vocab items and then read them off the board. We began our focus on pronunciation. Remember the two letters we worked on today...the d is like a th sound and the r by itself is like a d in English.
Covered attendance make up procedures. See August post for forms and a copy of the procedure.
Took an oral quiz on the vocab words. If you were gone you need to learn about the attendance procedure and schedule a time to make up the quiz.
Spanish III/IV

We learned actions and gestures for the verbs above then used them in different tenses. Today we worked with present and preterit (past) tenses.
Example
Infinitive: Secarse
Command: Sécate
Present: Me seco, te secas
Past: Me sequé, te secaste
Progressive (ing): Me estoy secando
Watched Hugh New and thought about why I was using classtime to show it and how we are going to incorporate it in class. Will discuss after part two tomorrow.
