Period 1 - Spanish 5 AP/GT

Phrase of the day: faltarle a uno un tornillo

Today students paired up in groups of two. We played a game where the teacher provided a verb, students, in pairs, came up with the past participle and made as many sentences as possible with that participle. The objective of this activity was to show that verbs can derive many different parts of speech in Spanish.

Periods 2 and 3 - French 2

Students were shown 3 different presentations today produced and created by other French students. These creative presentations were done to show the uses of the verbs included in DR and MRS VANDERTRAMPP. Students will get into their groupings tomorrow and start the planning process of their projects. They will have January 3 - January 5 to work on these activities during class time. The projects are due on Thursday, January 6. Students will also have their Unit 2 exam on either January 10 or January 11.

Period 5 - Spanish 3

Students took their chapters 6A and 6B test today.

Period 6 - French 5 AP/GT

Phrase of the day: tassés comme des sardines

Students handed in their homework assignment. Students continued to study the use of the present participle / gerund in French.
