Beginning Spanish - Period 6B - Test

Students in 7th Grade Beginning Spanish (Period 6B) will have a test on Wednesday, October 28th. The test will cover all material from "Para Empezar," "Capítulo 1A," and "Capítulo 1B." Although the focus of the test is on the more recent vocabulary and grammar, listening and comprehension sections of the test require knowledge of past vocabulary, so it is always a good idea to review all notes. All worksheets for Capítulo 1B will also be collected on Wednesday, so make sure that you are caught up with all of your work.
