La Tarea de Hoy:

1.  Termina la segunda hoja de Elvis (#s 4 – 10, if you were in class because we did #s 1, 2, and 3.) Follow ALL of the steps – and DON'T forget to write the LAST SENTENCE TWO WAYS!

2.  Escribe en español 5 mandatos positivos de tú.  Write simple commands that you hear around your house.  Just five of them – in Spanish.

3.  Tell someone the story of Sal Pon and Ve Ven before class tomorrow to practice.  If I were you, I would choose someone who has already taken Spanish 2 with me because they will know what you are trying to do.  (Or at least, they SHOULD know!).  (Di, Sal, Pon, Se, Ve, Ven, Haz, Ten)

Hasta mañana, chicos!
