Tuesday March 9th

Hey hey... Sorry I'm not getting this up until morning. I went straight to work after class and was there til midnight. Anyway- yesterday's class went well. I decided not to cover any new material yesterday and instead we spent the day reviewing trouble spots where students seemed to still be stuck. We reviewed phrases with tener, went over some more complicated sentences structures, contractions, and the infamous personal a. Though it was all review, I think the guys found it really helpful, and hopefully we cleared up some murky topics. We didn't get to all their questions, and I know several students are counting on a dictation today.

As for new topics, they are expecting to continue with stem changing verbs as the week progresses- we reviewed e --> ie verbs yesterday, and I think they are ready to continue with others. I collected some straggler L4 hw packets and will grade them tonight and I collected Friday's quiz, which we will hand back and go over this coming Friday. Also, there was overwhelming support for the first hour of Friday's class always being a study hall (the students were really positive about Friday's class, Carlos!), so I said we would keep that up.

Hope all is well with you all. Thanks to everyone for helping get the Spanish exam to the students and graded!
