Tuesday Feb 19
Review of this semester's work -- Adonde vamos? Starting with IR, to go, we have learned about the three kinds of irregularities in Spanish verbs. We have learned to say we are going somewhere PARA ( in order to) do something ( I'm going to Breckenridge to visit my grandparents...). Then we learned to ask people if they want to or can or plan to go with us. Then we learned to add the time we are leaving and arriving so we can make plans to do things with other people. We can give details about where we sleep and what other activities we do when we get there.
Continue oral assessment and reading Picasso w/ summaries at the end.

Say in Spanish:
On Tuesdays, after my classes, I have a piano lesson ( leccion) with my mom' friend, Mrs. Green. I arrive at 3:15. During the lesson, I play music that I practice during the week and she listens. I want to play well* and I can play well when I practice a lot. I leave at 4:00 and get home before dinner (la cena).
* well and good in English are used differently. well tells HOW something is done and GOOD describes a person, place, thing or idea. The same is true in Spanish BIEN is WELL and BUENO is GOOD. Bien tell HOW and bueno DESCRIBES..
