MaRtEs el 29 de MaRzO

Hello hispanohablantes!!

Today we reviewed for our quiz which will be TOMORROW!!! This quiz will consist of vocabulary for our chapter on "deportes" I will try to upload a some links to our power points so you can use them to review!

The quiz will have 10 questions for each sport. You MUST spell the words correctly or you will be docked points. for 5 of the 10 questions you will need to write the word in English (I don't care if those words are spelled correctly) and the other 5 will need to be written in Spanish (yes spelling counts.)

Juniors, you will not be in class tomorrow, so you will need to set a time with me to take your quiz :)

On friday we had a movie day and watched a 45 minutes more of Harry Potter in Spanish!!!

Lunes el 21 de marzo

Today we reviewed our vocab words for soccer and then headed for the gym
In the gym we practiced:
driblando (dribbling)
lanzando (kicking)
pasando (passing)
bloqueando (blocking)
tirando (shooting)
and hablando (speaking)

When you were the kicker, you had to say "tiro" as you shot the ball at the goal.
When you were the goalie you had to say "Soy elportero (la portera) y guardo la porteri'a" (I am the goalie and i guard the goal)
When you stopped the ball from entering the goal you had to say "bloqueo el balo'n!" (I block the ball)
When you didn't stop the ball you had to shout "GOL!"

Tomorrow we will play soccer for half an hour and then we will work on writing soccer stories.
Feliz lunes!

viernes el 18 de marzo

Hola Todos! On friday we read the story on page 204, the soccer story about Real Madrid and Barcelona. See how much you can understand! Most of the words are the same in every sport. The only new vocabulary are the following:
portero = goal keeper
porteri'a = goal (the physical thing with the net)
estadio = stadium
bloquear = block
guardar = guard
dar toques = juggle
gol= goal
ganar = to win
perder = to lose

we then reviewed the body parts for the people who were gone for that lesson and did Head shoulders knees and toes and the hokey pokey. See the previous post for the words to those two songs.

No Observation Tomorrow

Hola estudiantes!
Mr. Dressler will NOT be coming tomorrow because he is sick.

lunes el 14 de marzo

Hoy En Clase:

Today we worked on our béisbol stories. Your final draft is due tomorrow. Tomorrow we will use the beginning of class to finish making out final drafts, and then head to the gym for our last day playing béisbol.

My supervisor will be coming to observe our class tomorrow. His name is Señor Dressler. His is a very tall and quiet man and will probably sit in the back of the room and watch us work. He may ask you questions, he might not. If he askes you a question, please be respectful and answer him as best you can! He will be here to observe ME and how good of a teacher I am for YOU.

See you tomorrow!

Class on March 8

Today we worked on final drafts of our basketball stories. You will need to write your stories in your best penmanship in PEN!!
Your illustration needs to be on white computer paper. I would like you to color them, but you don't HAVE to. Your final drafts of your stories are due TOMORROW, and your illustrations are not due until we are putting together our final book.

We will be writing stories for every sport in this section. I feel like I need to remind you. DO NOT USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE!!!! It is INCORRECT! First of all, you do not know how to use many of the verb tenses that they will give you. Second, the grammar is completely wrong. Third, the vocabulary does NOT always translate correctly from English. It is SO obvious when you use translators. Not only is it creating incorrect stories, but it isn't helping you at all with your grammar. YOU need to be writing your stories because YOU are the one that needs to know how to write in Spanish. As much as I love correcting a million mistakes on papers, I don't. And I particularly get upset when the mistakes are happening because you were too lazy to do your homework yourself.

I would like to thank the students who did their own homework without using a translator. I'm sure you can share with your classmates that you hardly had any corrections to make on your stories compared to the people using a translating site.

I will thank you to NEVER use a translator again. Please TRUST that Mr. Lingle and myself are teaching you everything you need to know for the level of Spanish you are in. We would not lead you astray!!
