Class Supplies 2014

Binder or Folder–These are completely optional.  I will be posting handouts and vocab online, so students may access those as they need them.  If your student feels more comfortable with a folder or binder, that is completely fine.

1 Pair Ear Buds–Any brand is fine.  Students will store these in my room all year long in a sandwich bag with their name on it.  Students will be able to take them home at the end of the year.

2 Pads White Sketch Paper–9 in x 12 in 50 sheets from Office Depot

1 Pkg Crayola Marker (Boys)

1 Pkg Colored Pencils (Girls)

**We periodically make paper slide videos that require the art supplies I am asking you to purchase.  The markers, colored pencils and paper will be stored in my room to be made available to students for use in illustrating their slides for their videos.

Martes el trece Practice

I have looked over your assignments from yesterday on the reading, and I have found a few issues.  I am going to give you the five questions that were most troublesome for everyone.  Please pay attention to what the question is asking.  Then, I am going to give you the answer to the question in English, and I would like for you to translate the answer to Spanish.  To do this assignment, you will need to do the following:

  • Then, look at the English answer below the question
  • Translate the answer into Spanish on your post
  • Please copy both the question and the answer I give your post
  • Type your translation of the answer underneath the original question and answer

**Your work is due by 10:00 pm tonight; however, since you have a quiz tomorrow over the story, I would encourage you to get your work in as early as possible so I can look over it and submit comments back to you about anything you need to rethink.  I will leave my suggestions in the comment sections of your post.  It will be your responsibility to check your post to see if you need to make changes.  If you have any questions, you may email me or tweet your question to @mrshuggs102
