Today we reviewed Kapitel 5.
Students completed #22 -26 and handed it in.  We've now completed ALL the questions in chapter 5.

We agreed that we will have our chapter 5 test last thing on Monday.  There was also a desire to have a Monday, lunch time, study session to prepare for our test later that day.

At 2:20 we went to the IT lab and did Duolingo.

Wieviel vs. Wieviele

Today we welcomed back our San Francisco travelers. (Remember San Fran crew: complete and hand in #1-15 from Kapitel 5 ASAP [i.e. this week]).

Wie ist das Wetter?

Today Bärbel got her last name:  Eisberg.  From now on, it's Bärbel Eisberg.

Today we took notes on how to answer the question Wie ist das Wetter?
Be careful of the difference between these similar verbs:  schneien and scheinen.

Intro Notes Kapitel 5

Today we took the intro notes from Kapitel 5.
We also did some oral speaking of German.
We finished up to #4 in Kapitel 5.

Last day we went over our chapter tests and we took notes on all the 'small' words in German -- prepositions.

Students also worried about two things that I said during class: "Show me your briefs!" and "I'm going to kill you!"  It's important to understand that these two phrases were not meant to be inappropriate and, taken in the context that they were said, they were a bit silly and not the least bit offensive.  Do I sound defensive?  Do I?  (I think I do).

Enjoy San Francisco Anja, Herr Krankenhosen, Fräulein Butternase, und Mausgesicht, Wolfie!
