September 18 and19
We began class with a game of Lotería as a review of the numbers 0 -39 in preparation for a quiz next class period.
New material: Subject pronouns. This was a lengthy lesson/taking notes on the grid sheet/the windows sheet. If you are absent you need to borrow someone's notes and copy them. They need to be kept in your notebook since you will use them often in the first semester...you are sometimes permitted to use them on a quiz! We completed pages 4,5and 6 in your workbooks. Some classes also completed an additional worksheet 8 and 9.
Homework: study for your quiz/it is oral. Bring about 10 index cards to the next class. And some of you were told to finish your workbook pages for homework...that probably was only on A Day.

We are still using the clocks and working on telling times. We reviewed the formula for time up through 30 minutes past the hour. New material: 31 - 60 minutes past the hour. This formula is more difficult because you go to the next hour and come down and subtract (menos) the minutes rather than add them. This is on page twenty in your text. We completed a classwork assignment together as a practice.
We also worked with the question ¿Cómo se escribe...? using the words for the alphabet on page 22.
We finished class with a vocab game covering a mini unit on animals.
No homework.

We are going to have a quiz next week on the first three items in the list. Make sure the date is in your planner.
But the new activity was the introduction of quizlet.com as a vocabulary tool. You can use this for every vocab unit and have the automatic study cards that I have made for you.When you enter the sight search for vbsaylor. This lesson is listed as days and months.
