En El Hotel
The students just learned how to ask for basic services in Espanol when traveling. Students where placed in groups of three and had to create skits En El Hotel. Even though many students where shy and have limited Spanish abilities they really show their creativity and hard work in their skits. I enjoyed each skit.

En La Papeleria
The class has been learning to spot descriptive vocabulary. They are busy learning the mechanics of the Spanish language. Next week they will have their first project -En La Papeleria. Students will be creating different scenes at the local stationary store.
Verbs
The students have been working hard learning to conjugate verbs and future tense but they also have been learning medical terminology in Spanish. The students had to use their new vocabulary and create skits in their show called El Consultorio. The students really worked hard and their presentation showed it. I am very proud of both 8th grade classes and so should they.

Pronouns
In conversation and song lyrics, we hear the common saying, It’s just between you and me/I. But which one do you say: I or me? How do you know? Eighth graders learned this month how to figure out which pronouns to use and why.

What FUN to travel!
Seventh graders chose a city and wrote an essay about why they’d like to travel there over any other city in the world. They enjoyed finding beautiful pictures of landscapes, buildings, monuments, etc.
