Hola chiquitos, 

Please please PLEASE don't forget that we have our first checks on our Quarter 4 project coming up next week!  

The dates are:

Monday, March 24 = supply check 
  • Show me the sketchbook, binder, and copy or construction paper (at least 100 sheets) that you will make your book with.
Friday, March 28 = 25% check
  • At least 25/100 pages completed. These pages can be a mix of vocabulary and verbs if you like.
  • Number the pages! I will be counting them to make sure you have 25 completed by Friday.
Buenos dias chicos, 

I hope you all enjoy your weekend! 

We have already arrived at the end of March! That means our monthly current event is due. But, because our last news article was just due, let's change it up! 



March's current event will be 100% done online, on this blog! There are 5 current events posted from countries all around the Spanish speaking world. Please take a look at them all! 
Then, pick TWO articles to comment on. 

Your comments need to be well thought out, reflective, and interesting. 
Tell in complete English sentences what you thought about the news article, why you liked or disliked it, how it made you feel, and how it relates to your life or our class. 

You are required to comment on TWO articles to get credit for this assignment. However, there are 5 articles in all, and if you decide to write about more than two, you will receive extra credit!
