The First "Examen"

Here is a quick run-down of the last week or so. We finished up with 'Capítulo Preliminar' (Preliminary Chapter) with some fun review games and activities. I hope that so far, the kids are having as much fun as Mrs. Rounds!


On Thursday morning, several students came into class with heavy hearts and nervous insides about the test, but (much to their surprise, but certainly not mine!) most of them passed with flying colors. As I told the students today, if they didn't do as well as they had hoped, the best way to bring up those grades is to turn in all work ON TIME, study for vocabulary quizzes and study harder for the next test (as I also told them - I know it stinks, but it's the truth!).


The next month will be dedicated to 'Capítulo Uno' (Chapter )1 - greetings and goodbyes, exchanging personal information, subject pronouns (tú and yo) and telling likes and dislikes. We also continue forward with the ever-daunting 'Oral Proficiency Terms', which we will start the next quizzing session of this Thursday, Sept. 23. We jumped right into Capítulo Uno with vocabulary today, so their first vocabulary quiz will be this Thursday also, and we'll have about one every week for the next month. So study up!! As I tell the kids (on average, 12 times a day...) if you don't know the vocabulary, it's hard to learn a language!!


As always, please let me know if there is anything I can do for you! 


¡Adiós!
