Test Day, 12. May

On this fine and glorious Saturday past, we took our test.

That is really all that happened, as this was followed immediately afterward by Singprobe and rehearsal for the Mother's Day program.

Please remember to have your children return their textbooks next weekend, and bear in mind as well that report cards will be handed out. If you or your child cannot stop by next Saturday, then the report card will be mailed to you.

Mit Vergnügen!

5.Mai - Jeopardy

Guten Abend,

Especially to those of you celebrating 5.Mai this evening. As you may have heard from the kids, I am starting to get somewhat sick right now; I'm not certain yet what I have, but hopefully I will manage to tough it out through these last few weeks of the year. Should anything change in this regard, I will be certain to let you know.

Today was rather straightforward; we reviewed the curriculum-to-date via the ever-classic medium of Jeopardy. Our teams this time were "Die Pizzahunden" versus "Käsepommes." The former ended up winning by a margin of about 4000 points (roughly 30% of the available points).

The test next week shall be over the following:

• Regular verb conjugation
• Haben and Sein
• Modal verbs (meaning, usage and conjugation)
• Time (24hr and 12hr)
• Seasons, Months
• Clothing, family and food vocabulary
• The accusative case
• Possessive adjectives
• Direct and Indirect Articles

The test shall be quite similar in format to the test administered at the end of the first semester, as well as the pop quiz given about a month ago, should they wish to study these as opposed to their notes. 

Please also note that books are now due; please return them either this upcoming week (12.Mai) or the next (19.Mai). Zeugnisse will also be distributed in the near future with the final grades and assessment scores.

Mit Vergnügen~
