Unidad de Empezar: Día 3 - miércoles, el 30 de agosto

 ¡Aquí está la presentación que usamos de hoy!

Today in class, we...

  • Created equity cards with our Spanish names
    • Every student wrote the SPANISH name he or she chose for himself on a white piece of paper.
    • Then, every student wrote his or her SPANISH first name and his or her last name on a colored note card for Profe Katy
  • Person Bingo!
    • Please READ OVER the squares in the bingo to find ones that apply to you!!!
    • We practiced “¿Te gusta?” y “me gusta”  
    • Then, we got up and asked!!
      • We guessed like this: 
        • “¿Te gusta  __say thing here__?” 
      • The person can answer “Sí, me gusta __thing here__” or 
        • “No, no me gusta ___thing here__”.  
  • Finally, we got BINDERS!!!
    • Make sure you...
      • Chose one with NO NAME ON IT/not in the TAPED OFF section (so you don’t choose someone else’s)
      • Considered the SIZE you will need; is this your last year of Spanish?   Do you intend to take Spanish for two years in high school, or possibly three or four (take a thicker binder)?
    • REMEMBER: THESE BINDERS WILL STAY HERE!!  
      • Please don’t keep anything in these that you need with you -- they will stay in the classroom!
      • In addition, they will stay WITH YOU EVERY YEAR you stay in SPANISH from now on!!!!
      • So, if you still have them and can find them, you can keep your old Spanish notes in here!
¡Nos vemos mañana!!

La tarea, or the HOMEWORK:  Get the back page of the syllabus signed by a parent/guardian, and bring it back!!

¡Nuestro primer día de español!


Hola, y ¡bienvenidos a la clase de español!  ¡Aquí está la presentación que usamos de hoy!


Today in class, we...
  • Filled out the SOBRE TODO YO Survey.
    • Every student answered questions about him or herself, his or her interests, and let Ms. Williams know a little bit about him or herself.
  • Chose Spanish names from the yellow sheet!
    • Here is a link to that sheet if you did not get one!
    • We chose names so we can use these cognates, or the Spanish equivalents of our given names, to keep speaking in Spanish whenever we can!
  • We learned the ¡aplausos de atención!
    • The 5 clap rhythm = hands free, mouths closed, eyes on me, and brain ready to listen!
  • We checked out the CLASS BLOG!
    • WOAH, it’s our class blog!
    • If you're ever sick, need to catch up, or just want to review, you can always check out the blog, with links to what we did that day.
    • The homework should always be linked here, as well as on the Portal!
    • Write down the URL/web address in your planner:  edisonesp1.blogspot.com/

La tarea, or the HOMEWORK:  Fill out the SOBRE TODO YO Survey completely.
