miércoles, el veintiocho de noviembre

Spanish I:

• Students practiced asking each other to conjugate the 7 verbs they need to know for the test.
• We went over how to use "de" in a sentence to show what you own, and also how to use it in a sentence describing family relationships. Students did exercises 10 & 11, pgs 80-81. These will be due Monday, Dec 3rd.

Grammar Notes:

• There is no apostrophe in Spanish, so to show possession of a thing, or to talk about a family relationship, you need to turn the sentence around, and say that "something is of someone"

Example:

• La camisa es de Juan. = The shirt is Juan's.
• El padre de Juan es alto. = Juan's father is tall.
• Tomás es el padre de Juan. = Tomás is Juan's father.

Homework:

• Exs 10 & 11, pgs 80-81. Due Monday, December 3rd.
• Rough drafts of the family project need to be turned in by Monday, Dec 10th. i will post the family rubric on the blog.

Test:

• The first test will be on Monday, December 10th on the etapa preliminar, unidad 1 (etapas 1-3).  We will review this week and the next.

Tomorrow is a lab day.

3rd Grade Spanish:
