Another gramatical point that is included in this chapter and will continue into the week after next is possesive adjectives. For example; mi abuela - my grandmother.

This week in sixth grade we have been getting back into the book because we are finally finished with the Google Earth presentations. Most students did a great job on their country presentations using Google Earth and we all learned about many new and interesting places in Spanish speaking countries. This coming week we will continue with the first chapter of the textbook; Realidades. We have been making up actions that go along with new vocabulary, for example; escribe con un lapiz; write with a pencil, and the action would be pretending to write with a pencil. This cuts down on a lot of the direct English to Spanish translations and students get more involved and get to move about. This coming week we will learn several weather expressions. We will create actions for these weather expressions. We will also continue working on the Spanish calender including seasons, months, days of the week, and the date. I am hoping to finish up with the first chapter of the book called Para empezar within the next three week and hopefully have an exam before Thanksgiving.

Day of the dead is a very popular holiday in Mexico and it is important for students to understand the festive holiday.

SIXTH GRADE:

In sixth grade we are still finishing up Google Earth presentations. We have about 10 more presentations to go in each class which I am hoping to finish on Monday and Tuesday but some classes will probably run into Wednesday and Thursday.

Aside from technical difficulties the Google Earth presentations have been influential and helpful in showing students the world around us. Also the end of the 1st quarter is on Friday October 31st so any students that need to make up quizzes/work need to do so before Thursday the 30th.

SUMMIT HIGH SCHOOL:

All students are encourage to speak Spanish as much as possible in the classroom and to be comfortable making mistakes. Willingness to participate and learn will quickly advance the level of the language.

I will try to update this blog every Friday to inform students and parents about what we will be working on the following week.

SIXTH GRADE

This week we began by saying hello, introducing ourselves, and saying where we are from. We also practiced numbers 1-20.

¿Comó te llamas? Me llamo _________.

¿De dónde eres? Soy de Mexico.

¿Comó estas? Estoy bien, así así, mal.

Sixth grade Spanish classes only meet twice a week. Either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday.

EIGHTH GRADE

This week was a review of 7th grade Spanish including, numbers, greetings, the calendar, colors, body parts, and school items.

Eighth grade Spanish meets every day during first period.
