miércoles, el veinticuatro de febrero del dos mil diez

Español Uno (1):

Today’s Agenda:

1. Practice our letters of the alphabet, as Profe Nick spells unfamiliar words.

2. Listen to our song of the week: “La historia de Juan.” Nice job catching the next three missing words: dio, escuchó, jugar.

3. Review yesterday’s story: “Confesiones de una adicta a los videojuegos.”

Great job answering comprehension question #2:

The pattern you see in the underlined phrases is the following: If you conjugate the first verb, the next verb to follow must be an infinitive. Examples: quiero dormir, necesita escuchar, deben comer, vamos a cantar, etc.

This black-and-white rule will help you correctly communicate in Spanish 1 & 2. It will help you avoid common mistakes like (“quiero canto”--I want I sing--instead of--"quiero cantar" I want to sing). Do know, however, that the rule is somewhat of an oversimplification, and once you start becoming a little more advanced, you’ll see that it doesn’t apply 100% of the time.

4. (2nd hour only): Practice our chapter 6 gestures.

5. Begin the homework.

Homework: 6-7 (+tran.)

Español Dos (2):

Today’s Agenda:

1. Practice our letters of the alphabet, as Profe Nick spells unfamiliar words.

2. Practice the “specially accented” verbs that we filled out yesterday on the blue present tense packet.

3. Listen to the song of the week: “Si yo fuera un chico.” Nice job catching the next three missing phrases: conozco, se, otra vez.

4. Read a chapter 6 story.

Homework: Finish reading the chapter 6 story, if needed. Keep studying the chapter 6 vocabulary! We only have a handful of more days to spend on it.
