Buen Provecho

This week we studied a large variety of food vocab. We have also finally mastered all ways of conjugation! On Monday we conjugated both -ER & -IR verbs. We also did conjugations of -ER & -IR verbs on Tuesday. We took a test on Thursday focusing on food vocab and IR and ER verbs. On Thursday we started a scavenger hunt and are continuing it today on Friday. We are looking forward to the long weekend. Happy Memorial Day! 

May 16-20

In Spanish class, we are learning about different foods in Spanish. Some examples are banana=la banana and apple=la manzana. We are also learning how to conjugate ER verbs and IR verbs and how to use gustar. We have also done lots of games to help us practice them. Also all of us students have this app called flashcards on are iPad and you play mini games while studying. We also read through conversations to help us with our speaking of Spanish.

Food Unit

This week we started to learn about food in Spanish. We got three new pages of vocab and we have been practicing. Like we learned that strawberries in Spanish is la fresca. We completed a worksheet about combining foods that don't usually go together. Also in the beginning of the week we wrapped up our prior unit and we finished our blogs, made comments on others, and submitted. This has been a very fun week in Spanish. We cannot wait to learn more about Spanish foods and dishes.

This week's update

Today (5/6) is our cinco de mayo celebration. We'll celebrate by braking a piñata. Our class brought in so much candy that it couldn't fit in the piñata. As the note said, cinco de mayo is how we celebrate the French losing the the Mexican army.

We also finished up our tasks today. Think of them as a unit test. We wrote a blog post about activities we do in Spanish to a imaginary pen pal. This is called a presentation task. We also talked about are day. It's called a conversation task. We finished that today.

El Semana del 29 de abril

This week in Spanish, we finalized our learning about this unit in order to have started our presentation task on the 28th. We are currently writing blog posts so that we can share them with our classmates and Señora Kross' other class periods. We are also starting our conversation tasks where we share our day in Spanish with our assigned partner and Sra. Kross.

April 18-21

This week in Spanish class we did many fun things. First, we learned how to use conjugated verbs in sentences with frequencies and times. To do this, we went around and talked in Spanish using these sentences asking our "amigos" what time they did it at and with frequency. We also did more games with frequency and learned how to say all different frequencies. On Wednesday we did a competitive game of Kahoot, to top it off. Overall, this week was great!

In Español class this week, we have been talking more about conjugation and we have started to talk about frequencies. We have done many fun games to learn more. We played heads up seven up and a game of spelling out the frequencies. We have also played on a website called Kahoot.

4-8-16

This week we have learned about conjugating AR verbs. To conjugate the verbs you have to drop the AR and add the ending that fits the subject. For example, if you had yo trabajar, you would take the AR away and add an o to the end. Then it would be yo trabajo. Today, we are starting a project called Latin American Idol.

Time

This week we spent a lot of time doing stations to help us prepare for our comprehension task. The comprehension task is held half way through the unit to see if we understand the Spanish we have been taught. We participated in stations on Monday and Wednesday, because we went on a field trip Tuesday. Some of the stations were creating sentences on whiteboards. You have to roll the dice to see what you need to have in your sentence. Another station was a pre assessment for the next part of this unit. In addition, there was a station for a practice test of the comprehension task. Also, there was a conversation station, in which we talked in Spanish for the whole 8 minuets at the station about things we want, need, or are going to do on Spanish, and what time. Another station was time bingo. Sra. Kross would say a time and you would put a chip over the time if you had it on your board. On Thursday we took our comprehension task, which I thought we needed more time for, than the time given. On Friday we had conversations, took notes, and practiced our new notes using a quizzes app.

This week in Spanish we worked on our presentation tasks. We also did convo tasks. We got an assigned parter, and we were given a map to talk about, and Sra Kross graded us on how well we communicated. For our presentation tasks we had the option of making a ThingLink an explain everything and using Google maps to make our own map.

La primera semana de Febrero (the first week of February)

This week we have been wrapping up the unit of estar, practicing all of our vocabulary on places in the community and saying where they are by compass directions and by streets and other places. My highlight of the week was Wednesday and Thursday because we had a bunch of fun stations to go around to that help us with our vocabulary. One station was a quizzes game in which we competed against everyone else in our group trying to get the correct answer in the fastest amount of time. Other stations were hiding Pepe, having a conversation, building a town, and rolling dice. On Friday we had a quiz on the verb estar.

Although this was a short week in Spanish we still covered a lot of material and we learned a lot of new stuff. We practiced the infinite verb ESTAR which we can Conjugate into a lot of different forms. We filled in vocabulary about directions and streets. Here's an examples: oeste is west in Spanish. On Thursday we played four corners so we could help understand directions better. It was overall a very eventful and fun week in Sra. Kross Period 2 Class.
