Notas en el sistema y recomendaciones para el último sábado de clases

Queridos padres de familia y estudiantes, les escribo para informarles que las notas ya se encuentran registradas en el sistema (Ningún estudiante tiene que habilitar :) ). Además, les recuerdo que el próximo sábado será la presentación del proyecto final y nuestra tercera reunión.

Reunión: 10.50 am (Estudiantes de la mañana) y 4.50 pm (estudiantes de la tarde) en el MISMO salón de clases en donde hemos tenido nuestras reuniones.

Para el proyecto recuerden que deben hacer lo siguiente:
1. Cambiar las preguntas y oraciones usando I y You. Por ejemplo: Where were YOU born? I was born in the United States.
2. Los presentadores van a describir la ropa de los famosos (Recuerden ir vestidos como el famoso que escogieron).
3. Los famosos van a decir 5 cosas por las que son famosos.
4. Traer el letrero que hicimos la clase pasada y fotos de su famoso.

En clase revisaremos el proyecto durante las dos primeras horas y practicaremos. Los estudiantes de la tarde jugaron al amigo dulce, entonces no olviden traer sus regalos. Los muchachos de la mañana podrían traer algo para compartir con sus compañeros (se nos olvidó jugar).

Agradezco que si tienen alguna duda, por favor, me escriban al correo y con gusto se las resolveré. Muchas gracias por su atención.
