Abrimos con un retraso de dos horas!

Well today we finally got back to school.  We did have a 2-hour delay which again goofed up classes but at least we got something accomplished.  It is difficult getting momentum when every other day there seems to be something that interferes with classes.  Now on Friday we will have shortened classes for Winter Carnival.  UGH.
Spanish V honors has been going well.  Today we read more tweets (tuits) from Latin America and the students discussed them.  They are getting used to discussions in Spanish.  Most of them had a long break since Spanish IV so they felt rusty.  I think they are starting to get back in the swing. They also had to write tuits and they had some excellent ones.

Spanish 3 is making progress.  They seemed much better with common level 1 and 2 verbs.  Hopefull we can start new material tomorrow.
Spanish 2 is still stumping me.  They are really far behind and struggle with simple Spanish 1 verbs.  The odd thing that most of them are doing is putting stress on the last syllable of all verbs.  ODD!!
We had a meeting after school and we did a survey about our schedule. We also completed an activity with wait/think time.  I like the idea of calling it think time.  There was a lot to think about and I plan to become a bit more aware of this in my classes.
El joven used my two column/dice activity and he says it went well.  I hope to get to it tomorrow.

I am finding it difficult planning for that Spanish 2 class.  I am definitely struggling.  I do not want to lose them.
