Focus on different hair colors, eye colors, short hair, long hair, big or small eyes, nose, mouth, beards, mustaches, or glasses. Be sure to give each a Spanish name that is clearly the name of a man or a woman and number each picture. On Tuesday, we will use these to play the game in Spanish.

Parents and Students of 7th and 8th Grade Spanish

FYI....I have created accounts for some extra websites where students can practice what we are learning in class. There are links to the websites on the left side of the Blog page. Students were given passwords in class to access the sites.

www.conjuguemos.com - This is a great website to practice verb conjugations. There are also many games such as "Memory" and "Hangman" to practice vocabulary.

www.phschool.com - Success Net - This website is like an online textbook. Students can listen to audio activities, hear vocabulary words pronounced for them, and practice vocabulary with flashcards on each chapter. Plus, they get immediate feedback and can send me their scores on various activities.

Use these tools to help you improve!!!! ¡Buena Suerte!
