Hola todos,
We have been working on verbs for many weeks and now it's time for the quiz to show what we've learned. In class we've reviewed the material and talked about the format for the exam. We've also made study sheets so that students can work on their own outside of class as needed.
Ms. Darley's and Ms. McDaniel's classes will have their quiz on Monday, December 14.
Mr. Lukehart's, Ms. Klemchuk's, Ms. Wennerberg's, and Ms. McGurn's classes will have their quiz on Wed., Dec. 16.
Here's the list of the verbs we've been studying with their English meanings.
abrir -to open
cerrar - to close
bailar - to dance
cantar - to sing
comer - to eat
beber -to drink
brincar - to jump or to hop
saltar - to jump or to hop
hablar - to talk, to speak
escuchar - to listen
gritar - to yell, to shout
mirar - to look at
ver - to see
caminar - to walk
correr - to run
escribir - to write
dibujar - to draw
pintar - to paint
reir(se) - to laugh
llorar - to cry
estudiar - to study
leer - to read
levantarse - to get up, to stand up
sentarse - to sit down
nadar - to swim
cocinar - to cook
jugar - to play (games)
tocar - to touch; to play (instruments)
We've been working so hard and having fun along the way, so I know they'll do a great job, especially with a little review on their own.
You can help them by having them say the verb and acting it out in a game of charades and seeing if you can guess the English meaning. Or if you like to draw, try Pictionary. If you're a Spanish speaker, or even studied it once upon a time, see what other ways you might help them review.
And as far as testing in general, help them relax. This quiz is a QUIZ meant as an opportunity for them to show what they know! They know what it will look like, they know the scope of the material, and they've had time to practice. Now it's time to come in and shine!!!!
gracias por todo, hasta pronto, Sra. Deaton
