Español Uno (1):

Today's Learning Objectives:

1. Review "Listening Evaluation" Rubric (neon green 1/2 page)

Students will have five days (through Wed. the 10th) to self-assess listening in class. On the sixth day (Thur. the 11th) Profe Nick will begin to assess a couple students each day.

2. Review "Citizenship" and "Págame" system (dark blue page)

Students reviewed citizenship expectations for our classroom. Students learned about the "Págame" system, and how Profe Nick will tell an individual student "págame" (and record it) if a citizenship expectation is violated (inappropriate language, negativity, coming unprepared to class, using electronics, etc.).

Students learned that while citizenship is not for an official grade, it is communicated in Skyward and helps communicate to the student/teacher/parents/guardians/coaches if classroom citizenship needs improvement.

Students learned that they are expected to keep citizenship at 100%. Various ways to redeem a "págame" were discussed.

3. Review of yesterday's 6 new gestures

4. Story, read as a class with everyone's help

“¡Jason no entiende!”

Jason es piloto. Es piloto para Scary Airlines. Es un piloto horrible. Le gusta ser piloto, pero es un piloto horrible. Le gusta jugar Xbox. ¡Le gusta jugar Xbox en el avión! Horrible, ¿no? Le gusta escribir, ¡en los pies y las manos de las personas en el avión! Le gusta dibujar, ¡en los instrumentos del avión! Jason no entiende que es un piloto horrible, pero las personas en el avión sí entienden que Jason es un piloto horrible.

A Jason le gusta esperar en el avión. Le gusta esperar cinco horas en el avión. (Jason juega Xbox mientras espera.) A las personas en el avión NO les gusta esperar. Mientras las personas esperan escriben en los “pupitres” del avión. Escriben “¡Jason es un piloto horrible! ¡Scary Airlines es horrible!” Mientras las personas esperan dibujan en las ventanas del avión. Dibujan a Jason…y los dibujos no son atractivos. Mientras las personas esperan agarran toda la Coca-Cola en el avión.

Las personas en el avión no están contentos, pero Jason sí está contento.

5. Name Card Spanish Discussions (What we learned about our classmates):

1st hour: Mason likes to play football. He plays at Skyline. Mason plays better than Shawn Alexander...who is apparently history.
2nd hour: Allison likes music (including Led Zeppelin music) and she also likes to play the guitar. She plays with Jimmy Page. They played together at Woodstock (although neither are hippees).

Homework: (Due Monday): 1" binder (multi-class binder OK, folder OK...but not my first choice)

4. (4th) hour only: Story ("¡Qué rápido corre Kaitlyn!"), read as a class with everyone's help.

(5th-6th) hours: Name Card Spanish Discussions (What we learned about our classmates):

5th hour: Daniel likes to play baseball (every day of the year). He plays with Santa Claus at the grocery store using watermelons. Eva likes to walk. She walks with her dog, Swiffer, who is a bit violent. Swiffer bites, even Eva some times. When Swiffer gets violent, Eva tells him "BAD!" but Swiffer doesn't get upset. He just leaves and plays baseball with Daniel. Allen plays basketball, but not with Daniel, because Daniel prefers to applaud basketball players instead of playing basketball.

6th hour: Christian likes to be with his friends. His friends are Ian, Jamon, Blaine...and Michael Jackson. Christian ate lunch with his friends. During lunch Michael Jackson was reading, but he became violent with the book ("Capitan Underpants," written by Christian) because Michael Jackson actually doesn't know how to read. Brandon revealed that Tyra Banks is his girlfriend (who is also a friend of Jamie). Jamie reports that Tyra can be a bit violent, but Brandon says that she's never violent with him.
