Good afternoon. We are currently still working on the entertainment unit. So far during this unit students have continued to study entertainment vocabulary related to films and they learned about famous Hispanic entertainers. Last week students prepared for their movie poster presentations and they presented on Monday and Tuesday of this week. During their presentations, they talked about their favorite movies. They also discussed the setting, genre and plot of their movies in the target language. I am very impressed with how hard they worked. After the poster presentations, students learned vocabulary related to tv programs. Currently they should be able to tell you about their favorite movies and tv programs and why they like them. Quarter three has ended and grades are updated. As a reminder, report card night is next week April 18th. Please let me know if you would like to meet. Have a great weekend.

Hi, I’m Mrs. Anderson and I am your students' Spanish II teacher this semester. I have enjoyed getting to know your students. During our first two weeks of classes, students focused on getting to know one another and reviewing material from Spanish I. We began our Spanish I review, with a review of noun adjective agreement and verb conjugations. On Tuesday, students took a quiz on what we reviewed. We are currently in our first unit which focuses on food. By now students are able to name a variety of foods and drinks. Next week we will continue to study food vocabulary and students will learn to talk about the foods that they like/dislike and what they typically eat for breakfast lunch and dinner.
