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!

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

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 ...

So far

It's hard to believe that we're already a few weeks into this school year. It's been going well. I wanted to touch base & let you know how some of my ideas have been working out so far. TWO WEEK MODEL First of all, I love this idea! I think it's going to keep me on track in the long run. My students are still only in the input "week" (I teach block schedule, and don't see the students every day. Every other day for 63 minutes). We had so many drills last week, that I lost class time in almost all of my classes. That being said, I love what I'm seeing so far! I had a handful of students volunteering for reading items in Spanish, which was awesome! Even if they made mistakes, this format of the input week gives them the time to get used to hearing the vocab. for a long time before they're saying it. I used this reading  to go with their Subject Pronouns grammar section just yesterday, and I'm really impressed with how much they were abl...

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...
