The last day before Spring Break we talked about Ir and Hacer in preterit and you took the quiz without a code (you can take multiple times to get your best score) This is due before we have class after Spring Break and will be closed before we have the IPA's for this unit. We also did the extra credit assignment in Gimkit for Ir and Hacer. This was the final day to re-take the Regular Preterit quiz. This will no longer be re-takable when you return from Spring Break. This is CRUNCH TIME as we prepare to take the Travel IPA'S  about where you went and what you did.

Gracias a TODOS!

Today we took the Cuando quiz. I announced the IR and HACER quiz on Wednesday and I gave you a complete packet to help you work on "all things Unit 4" for the IPA. You may or may not want to look at this over the break. Just remember we have the IPA for this unit on 18, 20, and 22nd of April. We also played battleship both in person on paper and on the computer.

Re-takes are available for the written regular preterit quiz through Friday April 1, for 100%.
I gave out a packet (just front and back for some of you) where you wrote sentences including where you went and what you did. Then you submitted them on Canvas where I gave you feedback and asked for corrections.
I told you that we would be taking the Cuando quiz today where you write out words like : ayer (yesterday) el año pasado (last year) etc, that are necessary to be successful on the ipa. You also had a sentence writing assignment on Canvas that was very similar -PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!
​

Today we had our FIESTA. First we did a Blooket and then took the written Regular Preterit quiz. 

Today we started our TERM 4!! YEAH! 
We discussed new requirements for the 4th term Bienvenida. Then you signed up for your Bienvenida! This one is worth 100 points (20-correct date, 20 -memorized, 40 - content, 20 -pronunciation )
Then I announced that we are having una FIESTA on el viernes!!! Sign -up or just bring something! It IS WORTH POINTS NOT EXTRA CREDIT. 
I ALSO ANNOUNCED THE FILM FESTIVAL SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE MARCH 21 AT 11:59PM. THIS IS JUST EXTRA CREDIT. BUT IT IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR EXTRA CREDIT THAT YOU WILL GET THIS TERM.
I will allow time for discussion or even filming during the party on Friday.
I taught you IR,  your first irregular preterit verb. 
Your homework assignment today is the Preterit Verb Sentence Practice. This is good practice for Travel Verbs in Preterit Quiz we are taking at the start of Fridays' class before the party.

We will be trying a new game Señora Peay told me about as well as doing some board activities to help everyone get the class average on Pesos. We will also be voting on the next 2 rounds of Locura de Marzo. It will be a good catch up day and hopefully fun! The games and activities will be around Travel Vocabulary and Preterit:)

Today was a fast day!! You had a calentamiento in Canvas. Just use the same verbs and change them to yo in preterit to answer the questions. Then we used the white boards to study for the Lugares Quiz on Canvas today. This will be the last quiz on this term. We took it up to two times in class. You had to type the Spanish ( por ejemplo lake = el lago) I put the voting QR codes on Canvas because we didn't have time to vote in class. Be sure to vote!

Today we took the Travel Verbs Definition Quiz.  These are the verbs on your pink paper for Unit 4 and there is a quizlet. You had to type "To Swim" etc. We also did a warm up where I am asking you questions in preterit "Nadaste" and you respond in yo preterit nadé and then finish the sentence. We voted on the first two rounds of Locura De Marzo.

Today we are doing several things. Everyone must present their Bienvenidas at the scheduled time in order to move forward and get them all in by the end of term. I introduced our Locura de Marzo Music Brackets and you listened to the songs. Then you filled out your brackets, took pictures of your bracket and submitted them on canvas. I also introduced you to the film competition and asked you to sign up for the type that you would like to do. I introduced the vocabulary for Unit 4 Where I went and What I did. I gave you a worksheet on Preterite Tense Conjugations and assigned you verbs from this unit to memorize their definitions. We will also do a verb conjugation test next week. There are great Quizlets on Canvas to study for the vocabulary, conjugations, etc. We will probably have three quizzes before the end of the term. Stay on top of them! Hopefully these last few weeks will be more fun than stress as we will be listening to the fun music this month. It is also a fun unit as we get to talk about fun things that we have done.

Today we took the second and third portions of the Unit 3 - Comemos IPA. You should have a grade for your speaking and your writing IPA's. You do not RETAKE these and they must be completed by this Friday February 25!!!!
We will be doing a Locura De Marzo activity this month with other spanish classes across the world. On Thursday we will be filling out our brackets and submitting our first votes. We will also be discussing on Friday the Film Festival coming up in March. This is an extra credit opportunity available for Term 4 and is SUPER FUN!!
We will be learning past tense for UNIT 4 - Where I went and What I did. The IPA for this unit won't be until The end of March but we will have some vocabulary and verb quizzes from this unit that will be on Term 3.
Please remember to go to the Spanish lab if you haven't already this term. Also YOU MUST DO YOUR BIENVENIDA ON THE DAY THAT YOU HAVE SIGNED UP. WE WILL NOT LOAD THEM ALL UP IN ONE DAY!
