7th Grade Spanish - Homework

Students in 7th Grade Spanish should review flashcards every night as part of their homework routine. All vocabulary learned is recycled in every lesson and the current chapter's vocabulary acts as a base of vocabulary to be used again and combined with new vocabulary in the next lesson.

Also, students were assigned a practice exercise for numbers to be finished by Wednesday (9/22/10): see worksheets P-4 (Section A - Números).

(*P-1 thru P-3 should already be completed)
