We started our lesson by working on our Isabella essay.

Cabo worked on the vocabulary from our chapter of the textbook. He did an excellent job.

Cabo and I then went into deeper detail in his essay. We continue to have conversations about circumlocution and balancing self expression with his current ability level.

Today Cabo completed a review of the vocabulary of the Chapter based on the review page from the book.

Cabo aslo completed a grammar review successfully. He should focus in the future on using BOTH of the required verbs for the present progressive.

Cabo is piecing together his Spanish Essay about the book he recently read.

Today he created topic sentences for his two body paragraphs in class with me. He also created two transition sentences.

Today Cabo wrote his introduction and conclusions (minus 1 final sentence) in Spanish.

We discussed the process and I have given him examples.

He then composed his paragraphs.

We started our day with something fun.

Cabo and I went outside to play “I spy...” in Spanish.

Upon returning we did some work for the textbook.

Lastly, we prepared to write an essay in Spanish. Cabo answered many questions about the themes present in the book “Aventuras...”. Each of his answers will be used in our coming class sessions to create a 5 paragraph essay on the book.

Cabo and I worked together on an Airport exercise from the book.

We then read several paragraphs about airplane travel in South America. Cabo did a good job reading, comprehending, and responding to the questions.

He did some great work today.

Cabo started the lesson by working on two involved lessons from the book. He was able to work independently and efficiently.

Cabo and I discussed the conjugation of commonly used verbs that are irregular in the present progressive. His ability to use the present progressive continues to improve.

Bobby and I read Chapter 1 of the book "The Adventures of Isabella" together. Bobby then answered 3 questions in Spanish.

Toward the end of the lesson, he was given the opportunity to choose between a more basic Spanish question and a more advanced level question. Bobby chose to take on the more difficult question. He did a fantastic job of managing the more difficult question.

I celebrated his courage and success by praising his efforts to Judie while he was present. Great Job, Bobby!

We had an oral conversation in Spanish and reviewed regular verbs and adjectives. We completed chapter 4 in the textbook and worked on building new vocabulary with the story "Why is Mr. Adams studying Spanish?"

Cabo and I read a passage in the textbook about the Nazca lines of Peru.

We discussed the passage and the mystery of the lines.

Cabo answered the 5 questions about the lines in the book.
