Week of 5/16/16

Hello everyone
This is Elizabeth, a student in period 5 Spanish. This week, we learned how to conjugate ER and IR verbs. Also, we are starting to learn about food, a great topic I would say. There are many different kinds of food that we are learning like el sandwich. I don't think you'll be able to guess what that is.
It's a sandwich. But anyway, there are many other foods that we learnt this week and drinks, and we are learning how to say others drink and eat and I drink or eat. There you go folks. That's this week of Spanish.
-Elizabeth




Hi Everyone,
This week we learned how to conjugate infinitive verbs ending in IR and ER. We learned ER first because IR is basically ER but is a little different. Conjugation is important because then you can say what a specific person does, not just to do something.

5/9 to 5/13

Hola!
This week we started our Buen Provecho unit! This unit is all about different foods. We also just finished our Mi Día presentation and conversation tasks. We recently just finished our THREE PAGES OF NOTES (that's a lot of notes!) for the Buen Provecho unit. For example we have learned what fruits are called like strawberries is la fresa and veggies such as carrots which is zanahoria. We have also been doing warmups that have to do with combining foods such as buttered popcorn, or popcorn without butter, or any combination! We also did a project where we mad new foods, such as carrots + spinach + pasta, or watermelon + peas + strawberries (except all in Spanish😄) This new unit is so much fun to learn!

See you all next week!

Spanish update

Dear Readers,
This week was a great week for Spanish class. We started of the first 2 days with the presentation task. Then on Wednesday we started with making the blogs and letting people tell and share about there activities and stuff like that. But, on Thursday we put a pause on that because it was the celebration of  cinco de mayo. There we had a great celebration where everyone contributed to breaking the piñata open. Then everybody got pockets and pockets of candy in celebration. We then finished off the week with finishing and commenting on everyone's presentation task blogs. Overall a very fun wee in the Spanish room (and Gym C where we broke the piñata).
From,
Sra. Kross' Spanish Class

This week in Spanish, we are finishing our unit. This units is called Mi Dia: My Day. We talk about what we do in our day, the times in our day, how often we do these things and much more. We also learn how to conjugate verbs ending in ar. Ex: Nadar, to swim. We can talk about our selves, other people, and many more forms of talking to people.

This week in Spanish we have been doing our final review to prepare the conversation and presentation task. Our conversation task will be with another student in our class in Spanish of course and we will be talking about our day, how frequent we do things,  and what we like/need/want to do. Our presentation task is writing a letter to our "pen pal" and posting it on a blog all in Spanish.

This week in Spanish

This week in Spanish class we learned probably some of the most important things (in Spanish) that we have probably ever learned. We learned conjugation and we watched a bunch of cool music videos about conjugation in class.

Spanish update

This week, we learned more about time by playing games, doing centers, and completing pages in our workbook. We also took our comprehension task on Thursday, which was on time and daily activities. We had to complete a schedule and answer questions about an email. Then, to top it all off, we're going to Spain today. Just kidding. April Fools!

Practicing Time

We learned how to tell time. We practiced different ways to tell what time it is. We also played a game to help us with time and it was escalaras. We also got to hear a song that helped us to learn about telling time in Spanish. Today we are practicing and playing games.

February 19, 2016

This week we worked on our presentation task for the Mi Comunidad Nueva unit where we made a map and described it in Spanish. We also did our conversation task where we asked and answered questions with one of our classmates. In the convo task we talked about a map that our teacher gave us. For these tasks we were asked these questions: Where are you going, why are you going there, how are you going there, and where is a place located.

Week of Feb 8-12

This week in Spanish we started our conversation task where we talk to the teacher usually, but this time, we are talking to another student. Also, we started our presentation task about either the Wilmette area or a town that we made up. Thats all I have to say.
-Elizabeth S.


This week we are mostly doing our presentation task about locations in Wilmette or an area we made up. We say (in Spanish) where certain places are related to each other. Also, where we are going, how we are getting there, and where we are. It's really interesting!
-Jaya N.

This week

This week in Spanish class, we kept practicing how to use the prepositions to describe where someone/something is located. We did many fun activities, we drew a town by the descriptions in Spanish, and went different stations to practice.   ---Rachel Shen


For the past few weeks, we have been working on using forms of ESTAR and this week we learned how to make more detailed sentences. In our stations we learned about a new fun game on our iPads. It is a website where we can take quizzes as a small group or a full class. It is really fun! We also had a short quiz testing our knowledge on the forms of ESTAR. -Kaley Carpenter

January 20-22

This week, we learned different directions and how to say where things are in comparison to other places. We played games to practice the new vocabulary. We also learned how to say where multiple people/things are with the infinitive word estár.
