One more day to finalize your writing activity. Good luck!
Did you submit your Rosetta Stone Lessons 21 - 30?
Mark down your grades on your calendar. There's a chance for big extra credit at the end of the six weeks if you do. Speaking of extra credit, TEN points go out to our Students-of-the-Every-Other-Week. Click on the tab to find out who. How is the writing assignment coming along? Don't forget to make edits! As you work on your writing assignment, you may need to go back and review the grammar lesson about the verb gustar.
 Hola! I'm back in the US! :)
Progress reports are officially sent. Please message me if you have a question. This week: 1) Start your writing activity. It is due on Friday, but it's a good idea to start now. This way we can work together to edit it and get it perfect. 2) The next ten lessons of Rosetta Stone are due on Wednesday. BONUS: 5 extra credit points if you can figure out what is going on in this picture. Be specific about what they're doing, what they're making, what materials they're using, and why. :) Google it. Or something.  Guatemala. Where I'm at. Legit. Whew! We made it to Friday. We've had a busy week!
Official progress reports go out TODAY. The progress reports will include grades from the following assignments: Rosetta Stone Lessons 1 - 10 Rosetta Stone Lessons 11 - 20 Discussion Forum Grammar Lesson Speaking Activity If you would like to know your current average, simply click on the grade book link and divide your total points by 270. That is how many possible points earned so far this six weeks. If you would like EXTRA CREDIT, message me with what you think your average is. If you're RIGHT and it matches my records, you'll get 2 bonus points today. Pretty easy cheesy way to earn some points. Next week you have ten more lessons due plus a writing activity that I would really like you to spend some time on. Charge ahead. :)  This is a BUSY week. Progress reports go out Friday. Buckle up and focus on the drive. Today - Work on RS!! Tuesday - Your Grammar Lesson is due. It will take most of the period, so please budget your time. You MUST take notes and really focus on this one. Wednesday - RS Lessons 11 - 20 due. Since you don't have Tuesday much to work on it, it's important you get a plan. Thursday - Speaking Assignment Due. It's ok to start this on Thursday IF you budget the entire period to get it done. It's a bit different than last semester and you should practice before you record.  Happy Monday morning!!
Your Discussion Forum grade should be posted. Please keep record of your grades on your calendar this six weeks. There is a potential extra credit opportunity if you keep up with writing down points earned! Two more days and you should submit the post for the first ten lessons of RS. I know it may seem like things are moving slowly at the beginning, but please stay on top of your work. The pace will pick up and I don't want you to be overwhelmed or left behind. :) As soon as you finish the ten lessons, keep moving forward. Hola!! If you'd like to start off the semester with extra credit...
You can earn two points by messaging me and telling me: 1) That you read yesterday's New Feed. Mention one thing you learned in yesterday's entry. 2) Tell me one thing you did over the holidays.  Happy New Year, amigos!!! Welcome to 2014 and the blessing of a fresh start. <---- Is this the cutest little reindeer you've ever seen? That's my two year old, Georgia singing Jingle Bells at her Pre-School Christmas party. I hope your Christmas break, like mine, was full of fun, friends, and family. As you read this, I am sitting and living (again) in GUATEMALA!!! :) Many of you know that my family and I lived for two years in Guatemala. I was living in Guatemala when I first started teaching with Guthrie Virtual School. The little girl you see in the picture is actually a Guatemalan citizen since she was born there in 2011. Fun facts! We will be in Guatemala for the entire month of January. I will still here HERE, even though I'm THERE. I may not be able to reply to texts or phone calls as easily, but I will still be logging in and seeing you in class everyday. Message me as normal and I'll reply quickly. I'm hoping we can even try to Skype while I'm in Guatemala and show you all the volcano that's right outside our home where I'll be watching your progress and working. MOST things in class will operate similarly to last semester. Please please please please please please please please please print off your module calendar as soon as possible. I have designed the calendar this six weeks to include your checklist of assignments and points, so I hope you find that format convenient and useful. There is a link to the calendar on the Guthrie Site as well as at the bottom of this post. Here's a simple break-down of what you should be doing: 1) Print off calendar and get a feel for the work ahead. Make a plan for the six weeks. 2) Get started in Level 1, Unit 4 of Rosetta Stone. 3) Make a post in the Discussion Forum. 4) Message your teacher and tell her hi! :) I'd love to hear a highlight from your break. Con mucho amor, amigos!! I'll see you in class!
