Study today’s grammar review. We will have a preliminary grammar quiz on block day (8/5) in preparation for the preliminary unit exam this week (8/7). Please note that the exam will take place on a half day. We won’t have bellwork on that day, so that will give you a full 30 minutes to take the exam. This exam is a lot easier because it is a simple review from next year, so it should take 20 minutes for most students to complete it, however, I recommend that you use the full 30 minutes.
Helpful resources: Watch the following videos that review some of the concepts from today’s grammar review. Please remember that we are not using vosotros, so please ignore this form of the second person plural.

Helpful resource posted on my website:
Welcome to Spanish 2!
I will post more information here as soon as the school year is ready to begin, however, as we will be interacting in Spanish 99% of the time in class, it is important that you practice the pronunciation of the alphabet since you will be required (some may be extra credit opportunities) to provide the spelling for several words throughout the year. Here is a practice video. Similarly, I recommend that you practice the numbers from 1-100 with this practice video and pay attention to the pronunciation and the spelling for each number.
Please email Profe. Peterson (apeterson@bfcsaz.com) if you have any questions.
