Today after finding out what is new, students practiced speaking in partners, maneuvering between the preterit tense and imperfect tense.
Students then copied the meanings of certain verbs that change between preterit and imperfect (Act. p. 25). They also translated a few sentences using this concept on Act. p. 19.
We learned a little bit about the legend of La Llorona and completed a partner activity where students again had to choose between the preterit and imperfect.
Finally, we reviewed what we have read so far in the book El Cucuy and worked on the pre-reading activities together. Students then read pages 10-13 in the Cucuy book individually and completed page 9 of the Cucuy packet.

Today we practiced before the quiz with a translation activity and a calendar interpretive activity. Then students took the quiz.
We reviewed the imperfect tense by working on a practice sheet and referencing page 41 in the Gramática packet. Pick up this sheet from me if you are absent.
Finally, we started our work with the children's book El Cucuy. Pick up a packet if you are absent. The actual Cucuy book must be kept in the classroom so if you miss a day of class you must come in outside of class to make up the work.
