Hola clase,

SO8

We are a bit behind schedule so we will be postponing the demonstrative adjective drill for another week.  We must finish our speaking exam this week, continue with our telenovela and listening exercises.  We will also continue with our EOC practice exercises each class.  Expect a reading comprehension this week and if time allows we will have another pecera activity (FishBowl).  We will also be checking all the worksheet assignments we have been working on last week.  As soon as we are done with our grammar topic of the week we will begin a new chapter.  The vocabulary is already on quizlet.  Make sure to write the words down or print the vocabulary by 09 February, it will be for a HW grade.  Use last week's blog to begin practicing demonstrative adjectives through games and quizzes.
