Verb conjugation review

With my advanced 8th grade students, we are reviewing the verb "ser". I did not want to give them a bunch of worksheet.  I've been seeing tons ofs ideas on Pinterest about the younger grades using clothespins to identify and label different items ( I unfortunately don't have the original post).  I've had this idea for a while, but I just wanted to figure out how to incorporate it.   I came up with this idea:
 
1.) They'll be taking the clothespins and placing the Spanish onto the correct English conjugations. Quick and easy review. 
 
 

 
2.) They'll be placing the same clothespins into sentences used from our ¡Exprésate! level 1B cuaderno de vocabulario.
 
 
In order for me to keep track of the activity, and so they're writing, I created a quick worksheet with directions and a spot to label [not quite sure if this is the best way yet, but we'll see-ideas are always appreciated :)]:
 
 
 
 
It was really simple, I just created enough clothespins for groups of 3:
 
 
I'll be trying out this lesson tomorrow. If it goes well, I'll add it to my TeachersPayTeachers account! I'll let you know how it goes!
 
¡Adiós!

  1. This sounds good. I'm curious: do you make much $ on teachers pay teachers? Just wondering if it is worth it...

Back to School Blessing!

What?! Already?! Yesterday in church, we received the "back to school blessing" for teachers and students. It seems like summer just started, especially because we had a lot of snow days this winter. At any rate, I thought I'd share some ideas that I've been creating for this upcoming school year. What does my grade mean poster? On certain in-class assignments, I assign students a check system. It's something that I started doing, mostly because my cooperating teacher did this when she graded. I don't like to do this for everything, but when I was looking through Pinterest this summer, I saw this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/282389839110118519/ *please reference the pin above, I'm not sure who created this, so if you know, please let me know!* It made me realize, this is basically what I've been doing. So I've created this . It reminds of a proficiency based scale at the bare minimum. I don't use as many numbers, as I use symbols

Classroom setup día 1

I FINALLY made it into my room to really get into setup. I went in last week to bring some stuff, but I spent a good 3 hours there today. So I thought I'd share some of my new creations. One of my bulletin boards. This is just a beginning of the year one. I include famous Spanish-speaking celebrities, with some quotes around their faces. Then I include some common careers where Spanish can be helpful! I decided to make a 1 MINUTE UNTIL DISMISSAL  sign(s) that I found on Pinterest here .  No where near as together, but I like the setup for now. Then I decided I needed a   "Voice-O-Meter" (Contador de la voz) .  This is a change-up from my stop-light format I used last year. I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to leave it one the ribbon. Finally, I really liked all the elementary ed curtains I saw on Pinterest, but thought this might be a good idea to top my blinds: PAPEL PICADO! :) I just liked the way that my back white board looked, so

Cuaderno Interactivo Estudiantil (Interactive Student Notebook -ISN)

Well I can't pretend that the last couple of weeks haven't been INSANELY busy. This weekend is much needed. This year I've decided to teach my jr. high kiddos with an Interactive Student Notebook, or as we say in Spanish: Cuaderno Interactivo Estudiantil. If you're interested in setting up one up, here's a great site that I used: http://everybodyisageniusblog.blogspot.com/p/interactive-notebooks.html   It is a LOT of work putting together the notebooks, and we've had our classes reduced by 20 minutes this year. However, what I love the most about this, is that it's challenging me as a teacher to come up with new, unique ideas. I find that I'M enjoying this as well. My advanced students are more vocal about this than my intro, but they seem to love it. Here's some pics of my notebook (I use this to teach the students): Front cover This is the syllabus page. This is a page that I created for Subject Pronouns.  Also, I
