Period 1 - Spanish 5 AP/GT

Phrase of the day: dar por sentado

Students took their quiz today on the Cueva de Salamanca. After the quiz, students received a three-page packet testing their knowledge of the past participle. Students will read the packet for this evening and be prepared to use the different compound tenses tomorrow.

Periods 2 and 3 - French 2

Students were greeted with a warm-up activity testing their knowledge of the passé composé with verbs using AVOIR as the helping verb. After going over this on the board, students got an introduction today to the verbs that use être in the passé composé. They received two worksheets showing DR and MRS VANDERTRAMPP both artistically and in table form. We went over the homework from last night and students were assigned page 134 activity 3 for tomorrow's class.

Period 5 - Spanish 3

Students warmed up with a crossword recapping lesson 6B. This was gone over and then students completed a classwork activity using both the present perfect and the vocabulary from lesson 6B. This was done independently and handed in. For homework, students received a movie review article from UNIVISION. They will read this for tomorrow's class.
