At our next French club,Monday, November 28, we will have a crossword competition.

Madame Laird is starting a French tutor club - we will meet every day 4th and 5th period starting theMondayafter Thanksgiving break.

Ms. Fellow’s Class (Spanish):

Remind students to review vocabulary for Spanish!!

Sra. Newcomb’s Class (Spanish):

In Spanish 1a students are getting ready to learn a big new set of vocabulary in order to describe themselves and others. Students got those lists in class (11/17) so they have plenty of time to learn them. There will be a "caja" quiz each day the week after Thanksgiving.

In Spanish 1b students are ready to practice making plans with others in Spanish. There will be only one more set of vocabulary and verbs to practice within this unit before we do Summative assessments on Unit 6 content. Students will be assessed in all four skill areas: reading, writing, listening and speaking.

All of Sra. Newcomb's Spanish students got a Thanksgiving toast challenge for the long Thanksgiving break. It is optional. :-) I hope the students will be brave enough to do it and that everyone thinks it's fun! Enjoy the extra time with family over the Thanksgiving break.
