Mas Gramar

¡Saludos a todos mis estudiantes y padres!

All right! So we've got two interesting new grammatical concepts we're dealing with in both middle school Spanish.

Eighth grade is still working with the difference between "ser" and "estar" and special expressions with "tener." Refer to your notes or see the previous day's blog to understand the basic difference between the two verbs. However, if you need some extra practice, take a look at the following links:

Ser or Estar? - Four java-based games that begin with flashcards and continue to matching.

Ser, Estar, or Tener? - Would the adjectives or terms best be paired with ser or estar? Or are they special tener expressions?

BattleShip - A java based version of the classic board game. In order to make hits on the opposing side, you must choose the correct verb.

Spanish Language & Culture - A simple multiple choice paper that asks you to choose between ser and estar.

In 7th grade we're continuing our work on the verb "ser."

Mini-Quiz - A short java-based quiz based on the verb "ser."

PowerPoint Presentation - This link will open up a PowerPoint that we reviewed in class.

Right on. Don't forget we're taking a field trip on Thursday and we won't be having class. However, if you're looking for some extra credit, swing by Griffin First Methodist Church on Thursday evening and enjoy some nice Romanian music. Romanian is a language moderately close to Spanish (both being Latin-based languages), so seeing this would be a good experience for everyone. If you can get a program signed by Allyson Lawrence, the youth director there, you can earn 10 points towards your quiz on Friday.

Good luck and happy studying!
