Hello Parents and Students. Happy half day!

ASL 1: This week in class we completed Lesson 30, signed the practice sheets and completed the vocabulary practice quiz. Students learned to sign the following words this week:

@
CELL-PHONE
DRAWER-[dresser] ELEVATOR
FLOOR
FURNITURE
GIVE-UP-[sacrifice]
JANITOR
MACHINE-[factory]
MEASURE-[“size,” “+person =engineer”]
MEETING
PREFER
RESPONSIBLE
RESTAURANT
SALESPERSON
START-[begin, initiate]
VET
WALL
WATCH-[wristwatch, also see: bracelet]
WAY-[street, road, avenue] [compare with: “HALL”]

ASL 2: This was a short week, so students needed to sign the practice sheets for Lesson 37 by Wednesday and begin to learn the vocabulary words for Lesson 38.

Spanish 2: This week we learned about reflexive verbs and pronouns. Reflexive verbs can be identified easily because they are always in the Infinitive (unconjugated form) and have se added to the end of them. They are words such as bañarse, caerse, ponerse etc. They are reflexive because they reflect that the subject is doing the action for themselves ie. I am bathing myself.

Spanish 1: This week students began to learn how to tell time and use typical time phrases. Time is not as definitive in Spanish as it does not have perfect equivalents for a.m. and p.m. like English does.

German 2 and Japanese 2: Way to keep going guys and gals. Please finish strong and make sure you are getting your 30 mins. in each day.
