Pruebas (First Assessments of the Semester) and Carnaval

Hey joven!!  Where have you been?  So today was a day of first assessments for Spanish II and Spanish III.  I haven't corrected them yet but I am hoping for excellent results.  I hope I am not disappointed.  Well today was Winter Carnival Day.  We had very short classes in the morning followed by a long SAP period.  El joven planned another great SAP activity.  It was  Put Yourself Where.  He designated a place in the room (center) where Monson was.  He told the students where north, south, east and west were. He then proceeded to ask various questions such as Where were you when you met your best friend?  Where were you when you made your biggest mistakes?  Where do you see yourself next year?  Where do you see yourself in 10 years.  This activity - like the one he planned for last week - was excellent.  PST - I did help out a bit with both of them - mostly encouragement The students really became involved in it and shared personal reflections and comments. Nice work, joven!  After a quick lunch, we spent the afternoon in the gym watching the Interclass Competition.  It was good to see some class and school spirit.  I particularly liked the volleyball game . .. not because I was interested in it but because I liked the music.  We really need to get something new into this Winter Carnival. With all of the snow, this year would have been a perfect year to have (bring back) the snow sculptures!  Maybe that will happen when I retire and el joven takes over the world!
