El cuerpo^2

This is the second round learning about the body in Spanish, but we are going to take this one to the max. We are going to look at body systems and go beyond just vocabulary! Languageguide.org has vocab, and I will show way more ways to talk about the body, senses, emotions, and systems.

La guerra de los verbos

     The war of the verbs has continues in November. A brief synopsis: CHPCS Spanish students are working on several verbs (ser/estar/tener/hacer/ir/pensar), and they are challenging each other to memorize all of the conjugations in order for the present, past, and future tense.
     They are attempting to memorize/understand/and apply 108 conjugations! This is an unbelievable achievement if they succeed or a valuable step forward in their goal to learn Spanish by merely attempting this feat.
