¡Feliz Navidad!

As a Christmas present to you, we will NOT have an article due over break. I would rather you all spend lots of time preparing for your interviews. Interview your parents! Remember to dress to impress on Thursday and Friday!!

Have a wonderful break. I will send out field trip details when we return. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Students are continuing to work on their employment process project. All students have applied for each other's jobs and now they are writing interview questions for the students who are applying the their jobs. Whew! This sounds a little confusing! Interview questions are due to me on Friday at the beginning of class so that I may make copies and return to students to prepare over the break.

***Reminder: Unit 3 exam is on Thursday! You received your study guides last week and no one has been in for a tutorial session! I have tutorial today from 4-5 pm for anyone who would like to go over the study guide and ask questions.

Paz,

Today we started our end of unit project. Students must complete task 1 and 2 by Friday (create and advertisement and a job application). Students will have all of Tuesday and Thursday to work on this in class, but it must be completed by the start of class on Friday so that students have a chance to applying to each others' jobs over the weekend.

I am available Tuesday at 4 for tutorial, in the mornings, or at lunch for assistance or revisions if you need extra help.

Have a great week!

Have a great weekend!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. The quiz went very well on Friday and today, again, there is not homework. However -- there will be homework over the break since I need you all to be thinking about Spanish!

This week, we are working on the irregular verbs poner (to put), poder (to be able to), dar (to give), and saber (to know).

We are also continuing our work on forming questions (ask your student about it -- it's crazy in Spanish!)

Paz,
