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!
