Students review tener and tener que and learned new tener expressions that are important to Spanish. Attached in the email is a copy of their homework, due Wednesday.

As students trickled in, they watched Dinosaur Time inSpanish and completed a worksheet (until the Internet stopped working…)

Students learned about different fruits and dishes availablein Spain, Ecuador and Costa Rica. They got to try Mexican “duros” and tamarindsand maracuya juice from Costa Rica.

I didn’t see this class due to MSP Writing exam! I expectnot to see them on Thursday either.

I saw some of this class but not all due to the MSP WritingExam. We did a worksheet, not a big deal if they weren’t here.

Students watched their (last?) episode of Made in Spain, learningabout the peppers in the north and Roncal cheese. They had a partner activityinvolving budgeting meals, using a Mexican menu and converting dollars topesos. The math teachers love me.

On Thursday, I plan on a slideshow of foods and meals frommy travels to Spain, Mexico, Ecuador and Costa Rica. I plan on sharing withthem some tamarinds and a powdered fruit drink mix from Costa Rica. The fruitis called “maracuya” or “calala.” If your students has any citrus allergies orsensitivities or you’d just rather have them not try anything, please let meknow ASAP.

We reviewed their vocabulary as a class then students listened to an instructional video on how to connect in the Barajas airport in Madrid. (They totally have instructional videos, it’s a seriously complicated airport) Then they partnered for an activity using the bus map from Pamplona,Spain.

Tarea: none
