Review/Repaso

Hey Students-

If you are excited about reviewing "old stuff," there are a lot of practice quizzes posted on my quia site and there are also a lot of vocabulary activities available at conjuguemos's site.  Some of the vocab. units we've done here are: colors, House: daily routines, and many of the body parts words.

I will also come with some hard-copy mixed review handouts on Wednesday!

Hope the art projects are coming along nicely!
