Finals Week! Just a few measly exams to get past and then it's Christmas break - no sweat, right? Monday and Tuesday are reserved for exam review (Christmas party on Tuesday) and then Wed-Friday are exams (dismissal at noon each day).
Wednesday- Bible and 10th grade history exams. A complete synopsis of the history exam was given in class last week, and a grade will be taken Monday morning on your test review. Notebooks will be collected from those that are exempt on Monday; those taking the exam will leave theirs after the test.
Thursday - 11th grade history and arts apprec exams.
Friday - Spanish I and Spanish II exams. Spanish I has already been given a complete synopsis. Spanish II will need to study all vocabulary, the four basic tenses (with endings), and verb conjugation in the present tense (including the irregulars).

December 7-11, 2009
Almost there! This is the last regular week of classes before the Christmas break, and, as should be expected, most classes will be finishing units, testing, and beginning the exam review. I'll start with a note on the upcoming exams in my classes:
US History: Exam is cumulative and will focus on people and events that shaped America. Beginning Thursday of this week I will begin previewing topics that will be covered.
Spanish I: Cumulative. Will cover the first four chapters of the text. Material for review will be given on Monday but will not be covered until after Chapter 4, lesson 9 is complete.
Spanish II: Cumulative. Vocabulary will be the key focus, along with verb conjugation. The review will focus on the four basic tenses, covered earlier this year. Vocab terms will be given in Spanish to be translated to English (opposite all our tests and quizzes).
Now this week's work:
US History: we will finish lecture on the election of 1912 on Monday and will test on Wednesday. The test will include several political cartoons from the lecture about which students will write analytical essays. IMPORTANT NOTE: Note grades count as quizzes (and therefore make up 25% of the overall grade). Following Wednesday's test I will collect notebooks from those who are exempt. Students who are taking the final will need their notes for the test review, and will turn the notebook in the day the exam is given. MAKE SURE YOUR NOTES ARE IN EXCELLENT ORDER AND COMPLETE!
Spanish I: This week we will cover chapter 4, lesson 9 (beginning on page 72). The lesson includes reviews of the verbs ser and tener, and reviews possessive adjectives. New material presented is telling time in Spanish. We will test on Friday.
Spanish II: We have one more vocabulary quiz to take (Monday) and will learn verbs like gustar (page 92). Tuesday will be for review, and test over chapter 3, lesson 2 on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be verb tense review (and some time on object pronouns, if necessary).
As I mentioned in last week's post, this time is so crucial to finishing the semester correcty. There are many distractions, but keep your focus! You've worked hard to make the grade, don't slip up at the last!
God bless!
