Feliz Invierno a todos!

We are wrapping up La Salud chapter.  Unit test is Monday, January 30th, 
after being postponed from last week on Thursday.  We will move on to our 
next chapter titled "Un Viaje." This chapter mainly focuses on the whole 
experience of taking a trip by plane.  We will also discuss taking a trip by 
train and the experience of checking in at a hotel.  Our new grammar concepts 
will be Saber Vs. Conocer [to know], present progressive and "Go Verbs".  

We are ALWAYS practicing complete sentences and doing reading passages 
together. 

IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SPANISH YOU MUST KEEP YOUR 2 INCH BINDER NEAT 
AND ORGANIZED.  IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BINDER SO THAT 
YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH THE CURRICULUM.  A HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL CLASS MUST BE TAKEN 
SERIOUSLY!

                    ************PARENTS******************
On November 7th I sent out a letter with your child explaining how promotion 
to high school Spanish is going to work.  Thank you to most parents who sent 
back their signed letter letting me know you read it.  Every child received a 
second copy of the letter to keep.  Please check HAC to see if your child 
gave you this letter AND that it was returned back to me.  I appreciate your 
effort.
