Kaitlin started her test today.

She had a strong start but did require significant time for one of the groups of questions.

Today, we finished our reading about a foreign exchange student who is in New York.

The reading compared their schooling with the schools in Peru.

Ben completed a number of tasks using our chapter vocabulary.

Ben and I read part of a book. As we read, we pointed out the use of masculine articles. We discussed words like grande, invierno, otono, verano, primavera.

The seasons are words that we covered in our preliminary chapter.

When we read them today, I asked Ben if those words looked familiar at all to him. He stated that they did not.

We then reviewed the 2nd section of vocabulary from the 1st chapter. We answered Spanish questions with Spanish sentences.

Ben seemed to struggle today more than he did last week. But, together, we did answer a number of questions.

Cam and I read a book that is full of wonderful Spanish 1 (and higher) vocabulary and grammatical concepts.

We highlighted them as we went along.

We discussed identifying the infinitive of the verb even when we did not recognize the specific conjugation.

David finished his test today.

He was able to work from not understanding some of the questions to being able to respond with the correct answer on the page.

This shows some good effort on his part. We want him to study more rigorously so that he does not have to exert so much effort with the problems.

We read a book that used many of his vocabulary words from this chapter.

Kaitlin and I discussed some phrases that she can use as she continues to access Spanish more and more out of the classroom.

We read from a book that uses tener consistently. She was able to translate many of the sentences with an appropriate level of accuracy.

I gave her feedback on her study guide.

Cam and I touched on many of the same points from yesterday.

We then read a conversation between two students who were discussing their schedules, a lost cell phone, and social plans.

Cam and I discussed the conversation.

Cam then started to read about the difference between schools in the U.S. and abroad when our session ended.

David took his Spanish test dealing with stem changing verbs and verbs like gustar.

Ben took his Alphabet test. He did a great job.

We then reviewed some of the vocabulary that we discussed last class.

We spoke about this Key Phrase: De donde es?
