Juche!  Heute ist Freitag!!  Horray!  Today is Friday!!

Spirit Day! - It's so great to see so many students dressed up in school colors!

German 1

The students practiced their ABCs by completing a pre-quiz.  Then they learned chapter 1A vocab words.  We finished up with a video that reinforces the new vocab.  It is a mini drama that goes with each chapter in the book.

German 2

They read about special occasions in Germany, and they completed exercise 11 on page 234.

German 3 & 4

They got to watch the next part of the movie "Der Tunnel."  It's getting quite interesting.  They now have 15 people working at digging out the tunnel and are going to try to bring 32 people from East Berlin through it when it's finished.

Good luck sports' teams and have a great weekend.
