Students took assessment test to see what level I recommend for them next year. Based on the assessment and my experience with students, I will recommend a level on their 4th quarter Spanish evaluation.

After completing the assessment, students had a few minutes to review information in their binders from all of the units we've studied this year.

We played a jeopardy-like review game competing in teams answering review questions from the year.

Tarea: final drafts of books about various countries in Latin America are due this Friday. Students need to coordiante with their partner to make sure the final drafts are handed in Friday. If students missed a deadline and didn't hand in a rough draft, they need to coordiante with me (nikki@denverspanishhouse.com) to make sure their drafts have all received corrections. After books are handed in we won't have much/any homework through the end of the year since this was such a big project!

For the remaining classes, we will be doing a lot of review of what we've learned this year in addition to communcation activities. Students received blank dice and on one wrote the conjugations we've learned this year (presente, preterito, imperfecto, futuro) and on the other wrote personal pronouns (yo, tú, él, nosotros, ellos). Students rolled the dice and praticed conjugations, ej. imperfecto/yo/trabajar, yo trabajaba.

Tarea: final books about students are due this Thursday. Students should have handed in all of their rough drafts and got my corrections so that they can turn them into final drafts. They should add some photos or drawings to make pages more interesting. If students were late with any of their book pages, they need to coordinate with me by tomorrow (5/16) so that I can correct any missing drafts. Students in general have been working hard on their book so once the books are handed in on Thursday homework will be very limited until the end of the year.

-Students have no homework, but were given an information sheet on the Spanish schedule for next year (see attachment).
