Links to practice irregular preterites

I've had a request for some online practice with irregular preterites.  The links below lead to online quizzes that you can take to practice your irregular preterites.  Please be aware that some of the verbs in these links are verbs that we may have not covered in class, so I have added them for you.
http://www.quia.com/quiz/252898.html : This includes the verb "conducir (to drive)."  The stem is "conduj-" and it takes the same endings as other irregular preterites. 

http://www.studyspanish.com/practice/pret6.htm : This includes the verb "caber (to fit)."  The stem is "cup-" and it takes the same endings as other irregular preterites. 

http://www.spanishspanish.com/pret1_practice.html : This includes both verbs mentioned in the previous links as well as "traducir (to translate)."  The stem is "traduj-" and it takes the same endings as other irregular preterites. 

Happy conjugating!

All students took a Unit Test today on Unit 5. Any student who was absent today should make arrangements to stay after for Department Night on Monday of next week (lunes, el 28 de enero) or in the library for homework club on Tuesday (martes, el 29 de enero) or Thursday (jueves, el 31 de enero) for a makeup.

I will not be in class tomorrow (viernes, el 25 de enero) because I will be on the New York field trip with Mrs. Ragno and her students.  I have left two assignments.  One is called "La Tomatina." Students have a handout with a short selection that they need to read and two activities that they need to complete on the opposite side.  When completed, students need to copy new vocabulary from page 417 "Talking about Professions" into their notebooks in both Spanish and English and complete a worksheet with some vocabulary exercises afterwards.

Have a good weekend.

Reminder that Monday night during Department Night is the last opportunity to stay for the listening comprehension extra credit.

Adiós.

A word about your restaurant dialogues

Finally, FINALLY I have graded your restaurant dialogues.  I apologize that it took me so long.

This weekend I will post grades for that writing assignment on Powerschool.  I will be keeping the writing assignments because I want to compare them with a future, similar writing assignment to see how students have improved over time.  Students have an opportunity to revise to score a higher grade (except for those with 100s, of course).  In order to revise, students will need to come and see me for a quick writing conference where I will explain what can be done to improve the writing grade.  I am available Monday after school during Department Night and most mornings.  After that conference, students will need to come see me again to revise the first writing assignment after school on Monday in Department Night or after school Tuesday or Thursday during Homework Club.  Just like the first draft, the second draft must be completed with no book, dictionary or notes.

See me with any questions.
