Week of April 30 - May 4

Monday April 30 - Today I checked last week's Bellwork since we didn't have class on Friday due to the picnic. I wrote grades in planners and we did a vocabulary Powerpoint activity as well as a listening comprehension activity. No homework. Tuesday May 1 - Today we studied our vocabulary words, did a mixer activity to practice asking for and giving directions, and I also passed back your map projects. We used the map projects to orally give directions as well. Homework: Complete questions 1 and 2 of homework sheet, due tomorrow. Wednesday May 2 - Today we learned all about demonstrative adjectives and made flash cards for them. We did packet work, whiteboard practice, and other activities to learn these words and how to use them. Homework: complete the rest of your packet, due Tuesday. Thursday May 3 - Today we reviewed demonstrative adjectives from yesterday and had a Powerpoint presentation (with notes) on el Cinco de Mayo. Homework: all work in packet is due Tuesday. We will also check Bellwork on Monday since there will be no official class tomorrow. Friday May 4 - Today most of the 8th graders were at Disneyland. Those who remained had an alternative activity so no class today or homework.
