Senorita Stapleton

All of my Spanish class, except eight grade, have been watching The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror XIII. They are praticing their listening skills by watching the episode in Spanish with no subtitles and filling out a worksheet with new vocabulary. They are trying to guess the vocabulary based on the context of the show. We then differniate by showing it a second time with Spanish subtitles and the first year classes have been getting it a third time with English subtitles.

Eighth grade has been studying Day of the Dead through pictures and vocabulary practice. This will continue into next week.
