Cartas de amistad: Edition 2013

Hola a todos!

Sorry for the delay in getting this project together, but Cartas de amistad: Edition 2013 is up and running!  You will find that I have put you in pairs or groups with the Spanish students.  Your first assignment is to just write a short introduction about yourself: your name, where you are from, how old you are, how many siblings you have, etc.  We will start with this and then move forward with other topics.  Please post before Spring Break (the Spanish students are on break now and will write to you next week when they are back in school).  We will go over how to do this in class.

Nos vemos pronto!

Review for Mini-Quizzes

As you know, starting today for the next five class periods we will have a mini-quiz on the preterit.  A little rusty?  Check out these websites to get back in the swing of things:

CONJUGUEMOS

PRETERIT - STEM-CHANGING (This one is super fun! Play Battleship while reviewing verbs.)

PRETERIT - ALL VERBS (Jeopardy!)

Log on in Cengage as well, the site the accompanies your book, and do the activities from the past few chapters.

Suerte!

Bienvenidos!

Hola a todos y todas!

A quick word to say welcome to second semester Elementary Spanish!  I wanted to introduce you to the students we will be working with in our pen-pal project.  They are students at CEIP Valdelecrin in Fuengirola, Malaga, Spain.   I taught the now third-graders when they were in first grade.  I visited their class over break and told them about the project - they sure are excited to "meet" you!

Here is their class blog so you can see what they are studying:

You should also check out their awesome "home video" of "Llego la Navidad" - al estilo Gangnam!

Jajaja.... Son muy divertidos, no??
