Week of April 23-27, 2012

Monday 23 - Today was our Quarter 4 binder check, so if you were absent today come see me when you get back so I can check yours. We talked about our field trip. If you didn't pay Friday, you're not going. Chaperones should plan on being at the school at 12:20 and need to bring their drivers licence and proof of insurance to the office to get a copy on file. We also began our city map project, which involves plotting out a city map with various buildings according to instructions I gave in class. Homework: study flash cards for 5 minutes Tuesday 24 - Today we did a flash card activity and worked on our city maps from yesterday. Homework: finish your city maps, due Thursday (we will not be working on them in class tomorrow). Today was also our field trip to Casa del Rio from 12:25 - 1:45. If you were absent but paid money to go, unfortunately we can't refund your money because it was given to the restaurant in a lump sum (as a check). Wednesday 25 - Today we made flash cards and discussed the other two parts of our vocabulary sheet, and we began memorizing these phrases. Homework: finish all flash cards for tomorrow, as well as your city maps. Thursday 26 - Today your city maps were due for 60 points. We did a speaking activity with them and also did our leading a blindfolded friend activity outside (and directing them in Spanish). No homework tonight. Friday 27 - Two of my three 8th grade classes did not meet today due to the 8th grade Picnic, so in period 3 we did vocab activities. No homework.
