Spanish 2: This week we learned the long form of Possessive Adjectives and practiced applying the knowledge in Quizizz. We also completed two Duolingo assignments and practiced our vocabulary using the Quizlet we created. Tomorrow students will be partner reading a story in Spanish called Los Tres Chivitos Traviesos. It is a bit of a twist on The Three Billy Goat’s Gruff. Students will be testing their comprehension of the story via a Google Form.

Spanish 1: This week students learned how to express frequency using Spanish adverbs like nunca, siempre, todos los días, etc. They should now know the meaning of the phrase, “¿Con qué frecuencia? which means “How often?” in English. They also learned how to express obligation using the phrases hay que and tener que. These mean “one must” and “have to” respectively.

Have a great weekend folks!
