I had Hudson practice making a chart for his Spanish exam. The chart will include the preterit endings for verbs, the use of ser or estar, and the present progressive which emphasizes that an action is in progress. Then we practiced translating sentences and putting them in the proper form.

Today we played chess and we watched videos, celebrating the last day of school.

Today we saw a video about health in Latin America. He learned the term La salud and created sentences on how to stay healthy.

Today we cleaned and organized his room due to the last week of school.

We created complete sentences by putting verbs in the present progressive to say we are completing an action right now. Then we formed complete sentences by using the correct form of Ser or Estar. Next, we provided appropriate preterit form to complete sentences.

Today we continued adding vocabulary, this time about directions in Spanish. Today he learned how to ask for directions and give directions in Spanish. Then he worked on the directions to go to the park for our field day next week.

Today we watched the video on YouTube: Conversaciones coloquiales entre amigos, para estudiantes de espanol. After that, he wrote down two paragraphs about the video. He learned new vocabulary about colloquial words in Spanish and also he reviewed verbs in the past tense.

We reviewed informal greetings and introductions. Then we went over the use of ser and estar for emotions and personality traits. Next, we reviewed items in a classroom such as desks, students, and chalkboards. We also learned how to say taking notes in the present progressive. We reviewed how to conjugate the verb ir which means to go. We learned the names of different buildings in a school and different classes. Then we learned the names of different members of families such as aunt, daughter, grandmother, and cousin.

We learned how to conjugate the present progressive in Spanish. We practiced using the present form of Estar and a verb in gerund form. The form of Estar is the person performing the action. Then we learned that AR verbs use the gerund ending of -ando and ER/IR verbs use the -iendo ending on the verb stem. We practiced creating sentences with the proper form of Estar for the subject and the present progressive for the action. Then we reviewed the stem-changing irregular verbs for the present progressive and the verbs that end in E or I that end in -yendo.

David did a worksheet. we also discussed enrichment topics for upcoming classes.
