semana de 16 de diciembre

Hola clase,

I have given you the extra credit opportunities for this 9 weeks and next 9 weeks.  It is up to you if you do them or not.  These will be the only ones for the next 18 weeks.  The extra credit for fourth 9 weeks as you know is your slang dictionary.

This week we will finish presentations, take our preterite quiz (SO8) and formal commands (SO9).  You will get the next vocabulary before we go on break we will begin with this once we return from break.  Upon our return we will be concentrating most on vocabulary build up and reading comprehension.  Keep studying with the sites in past blogs.  We will be taking our 9 week exam on the 14th and 15th of January.  It will not be changed due to interims.  To study use past blog postings, there are games and activities to practice.  When we return we will continue to work on the new vocabulary and continue to review preterito regular and formal commands.  Be prepared!!!!

Remember come January English will only be spoken on Fridays for SO8. 

In January we will also begin reading our first book SO9.  So8 we will be reading magazine articles and preparing for our Civil Rights unit in February.  So9 you will have a small project about Hispanic Sports when we return.


happy vacation :)  Enjoy the rest.  You will need it....as we welcome 2013!
