This week--Chapter Two, cont'd
Homework:
Study Chapter Two vocabulary and review Chapter One vocabulary. We are still using it.
Complete and turn in Primer Paso workbooks (if student did not do so last week).
Work on Segundo Paso workbook.
In Class:
Last week students took (and retook) matching vocabulary quizzes on Chapter Two--Primer Paso, Segundo Paso and Tercer Paso. We covered Primer Paso (Part One) of the chapter.
Workbooks, Primer Paso, were due last week, but students may still turn them in this week.
Quizzes
This Monday, students will take an English-Spanish Vocabulary Quiz on Primer Paso. On this type quiz, I give students the vocabulary word in English and they write the word in Spanish, or I give the word in Spanish and students write it in English.
This Wednesday, students will take an English-Spanish Vocabulary Quiz on Segundo Paso and a very short Tercer Paso (Parts Two and Three). Remember, we have been practicing this vocabulary for several weeks now.
This Thursday, students will take a standardized quiz on Part One (Vocab, Grammar, Sentences). We will go over the material that will be on the quiz during the week.
This week, we will cover Segundo Paso in class.

Classwork and Homework April 21-25
We are now working on Chapter Two. That means we have new vocabulary and new grammar. We have taken a matching quiz over Part One Vocab but students will have a chance to correct mistakes on Monday. On Monday we will also take a matching Quiz over Part Two of the Vocabulary. On Wednesday, we will take a matching Quiz over Part Three of the Vocabulary, which will include the numbers to a hundred.
During the week, students should review Chapter One vocabulary and continue to work on Chapter Two vocabulary. The next step will be to write the vocabulary words out in Spanish.
Students should also begin to read through the chapter and review any work we do in class. Finally, students should begin to work in the workbooks as we complete Parts One, Two, and Three in class discussions and practices.
Yes, they will have homework every night this next week.
For the next few weeks, I will be hosting a study hall and catch-up sessions on Thursdays from 2:30 to 4:30. Students may come in and work for as long as they need to.
Exciting news is that students are doing well on their tests. Some just need to catch up on back work.

Classwork and Homework April 14-18
State testing is finished and we now need to get back to work. Monday will be a full day. Tuesday-Friday will be early release days to accommodate parent/teacher conferences.
JA7 will have the Chapter One (final) test on Monday.
JA8 will have the test later in the week.
Monday is the last day to hand in folders and papers for this grading period (parents will be given current grades at conferences).
This week, students will be given vocabulary lists and workbook pages for Chapter Two. Matching quizzes will start next week. In addition to learning the new vocabulary, they will need to continue to review the Chapter One vocabulary because we will continue to use it.
Most students are doing very well, especially on quizzes and tests. Some are still not completing the written work for their portfolios. That work still needs to be done.

Homework and Classwork April 7-11
This week students will be taking AIMS and Terra Nova tests. I probably won't have JA8 at all or for no more than an hour on some days. It's possible that JA7 will have all or part of their class on some days.
Overall, students did well on their Chapter One pretest. Most need to work on spelling, accent marks, the numbers and writing complete sentences.
Now we are studying for one final Chapter One test. Students have a study guide telling them exactly what will be on the test. They also have workbook keys to practice material similar to what will be on the test. In addition, they have a grammar tutor package (extra workbook pages) to review grammar points.
Therefore, this week students should continue to review vocabulary, complete the tutor package, and go over the material in the Test Study Guide.
Students may also bring me any folders that they have brought up to date, so I can check off their work, which will allow them to have a higher grade for parent conferences than they did for midterm grade reporting. I'll be available before and after school.
