Review activites & Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias

Happy Thanksgiving!  


REVIEW ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE AT QUIA and CONJUGUEMOS!!!


Some reminders:
  • Books are due on the 30th of November.  That's Wednesday after you return from break.  You will have only about 30 minutes in class to tie together loose ends.  
  • At the end of the semester we will be having a test on all content material to date.  I have made activities to practice all of the stuff so far.  Go to my quia profile page to access activities (some quizzes, some vocabulary activities) and if you want the answers, all you have to do is submit your answers and compare them to what you got (be sure to scroll down to see the correct answers). 
  • For straight verb conjugation practice, you can go to conjuguemos and drill!
