In the Sixth Grade we're learning:

- How to describe ourselves and others with the verb "ser"
In the Seventh Grade we're learning:
- New, useful verbs found here.

- How to describe events that are going to happen.
In the Eighth Grade we're learning:
- Chores and useful adjectives to describe what needs to be done around the house.
