The 8th graders are finishing up their unit on La casa. Last week they completed a summative project for the unit. The class was given a choice between three options to show what they've learned. One assignment was to create their ideal house or "casa de sueños". For this assignment students created a visual to represent their dream house and wrote about the details to describe their house. Another assignment was to create a video, showing and describing their house to the class. The videos were very fun to watch! Thank you for allowing us to virtually visit your homes. Lastly, there was an option to write a letter to a student named Erika in Peru. They were asked to describe themselves, their house, and life here in Chicago as well as ask questions about Erika's life in Peru.
The next few classes we will be reviewing for their unit test next Wednesday October 28th.
We also recently welcomed, Señor Barajas to the classroom. He is from North Park University and will be completing his mini-teaching experience with 8th grade. Here is a short message from Sr. Barajas:
Hello everyone, My name is Richard Barajas and I am the new mini-teacher for Señora Yanics. I am a senior at North Park University studying Spanish Education as well as participating in the collegiate sports of Cross Country and Track. I have done many extra curricular activities while at school and I've even studied Spanish in a different country! I am very excited about receiving the opportunity to teach Señora Yanics' wonderful students and establish as well as grow upon my teaching abilities. I have very high expectations for everyone including myself so I am ready to take on the challenge and have some fun! Thank you to the students and the parents for allowing me to come into this space and thank you to Señora Yanics for allowing me to teach her great class. ¡Hasta Luego!
