It began like any other Saturday, but quickly this illusion was shattered when I wrote 8 ominous columns on the board: 8 categories, 8 topics, each with numbers 1-1000. It was time... for Jeopardy.
As is tradition, since next week is going to be our cumulative semester test, today was review day in the form of a class-long game of Jeopardy.
In the end, the team "Augen" beat out the team "Kluge" by about 1500 points.
After lunch, and before the Singprobe, we went over Nikolaustag and read the poem, "Nikolaus, ich wart schon lange," reading it together, translating it in stanzas, and then finally acting it out. One of the many things wished for in the poem is a "Spielzeugkuh," and somehow the kids thought the idea of a toy cow was just hilarious, so one of them took it upon himself to dress up and act like the cow during the acting portion. He then wore that costume (made of notebook paper colored in with black blotches and taped to his clothes) to the singing practice, mooing all the way.
And so was born our new mascot, the Spielzeugkuh, forever immortalized in toy form once I can find a cow. If you have a toy cow you would like to donate to the class instead, just let me know and this shall be gladly accepted and prominently displayed.
For next week's test, I recommend studying the following:
- Modal verbs, meaning and usage of möchten and dürfen
- Food vocabulary as gone over earlier in the year (sausage, hamburger, pizza, pretzel, orange juice, milk, tee, coffee, fries, bread, water, egg, cake, cookies) with articles
- Family vocabulary
- Regular verb conjugation
- Definite articles in nominative and accusative
- Negation (nicht, nichts, nie, niemand)
- Interrogatives (wo, wer, wie, was, wann)
Mit Vergnügen
