Today's agenda:

• • we worked some more on the -er and -ir verbs. Students are responsible to know the meaning of the following verbs:

abrir

comprender

vivir

recibir

leer

escribir

correr

vender

aprender

compartir

comer

beber

• • students are also responsible for knowing the conjugation of -er verbs and -ir verbs. This can be found on page 159. Students will take a fill in the blank quiz this Thursday.

  • Today we worked some more on the Tomas Garcia Family story. Students are responsible for knowing the vocabulary, the story, and how all the family vocabulary ties together. I do not have this file in my computer any longer so students will need to come to me for hard copy.

  • Today we worked on asking and answering this question-Cuando es tu cumpleanos? When is your birthday? We practiced the months of the year, and then the students did a walk around activity asking Cuando es tu cumpleanos? To which the students responded saying Mi cumpleanos es el 23 de marzo. Birthdates in Spanish are reversed. What I mean by that is in English my birthday is March 23 or 3/23. In Spanish, my birthday is 23 of March or 23/3-This is obviously a cultural difference between USA and Hispanic countries.

  • Lastly we talked about comparitives (page 174 and 175). Comparitives allow us to state whether something is more than, less than, or the same as something else. Students were given a worksheet to complete and turn in for graded credit.
