We reviewed the Spanish textbook Introduction and Chapter 1 and discussed and practiced the following: cognates, greetings and saying goodbye to people, counting in Spanish to 100, double digit numbers, months of the year, days of the week, and vocabulary flash cards. We listened to the Spanish pronunciations of the cognates and the words on the flashcards and practiced speaking the words correctly.

Aiden has a good ear and will excel in Spanish!

Kaitlin took 1 quiz and wrote her introductory and conclusory paragraphs.

Kaitlin took 2 quizzes. She worked on her vocabulary and paragraphs for her essay.

Kaitlin and I discussed the missing grades that she has. We talked about -go verbs, checked verb comprehension, and worked on her paragraphs (specifically having her practice writing them in testing conditions).

We discussed the verbs Saber, Conocer. We discussed the -go verbs. We discussed superlatives and comparatives.

David and I worked to make sure that he had a good and faithful copy of his introduction paragraph so that he could study it tonight. He will need to produce a similar paragraph tomorrow as part of his exam. This took a considerable amount of time and effort but should pay off in the end.

We spoke about the grade that she currently has for me and touched on what needs to happen for her to bring her grade up and take her final exam. Note: Kaitlin spent some of her session time working on a project for her art class until Dr. Mary helped her to get online.

Cam took the quiz on both his saber v. conocer and -go verbs. He got an A on the quiz. We then previewed Spanish 2 for him. He then reflected on the semester in Spanish class. He participated in some extra credit and wrote a paragraph about his experience.

We discussed the meaning of the sentences as we did so to help him connect the ideas in his mind in both English and Spanish. He practiced constructing the paragraph multiple times in his mind and aloud. He studied the paragraph 1 more time and then wrote the graded paragraph. He did an amazing job and earned an A on this paragraph.

We built on the paragraphs that she started with Teresa adding multiple sentences to each paragraph. We discussed how the same principles that apply to good essay writing in English apply to good writing in Spanish. We highlighted some examples but let her know that with our limited time left in class, we would focus more on the fundamentals. She wrote good sentences that tie back to her topic sentences for each paragraph.
