I was pretty impressed with the quizzes last week. While the spelling was humorous, that was o.k. because we've mainly been focusing on conversational Spanish. I loved seeing how much most of the students are grasping.
If your student is struggling, no worries! We will be trying all different strategies so that everyone picks up some Spanish by the end of the semester. Keep encouraging them to do 3-5 minutes nightly to absorb the phrases.
If your student is getting everything right and wanting an extra challenge, I'm going to encourage a few to start doing some high school Spanish work. I want everyone to be working at their maximum potential.
The next big assignment is a group conversation. The students are only allowed to use words and phrases we have learned so far. They will create a conversation where each person speaks at least three times. The conversations will be MEMORIZED and presented in class on October 20th.
I will be gone October 6-15th so the students will be mainly reviewing and working on their group skits. I will be checking emails if you have any concerns.
