We also learned how to introduce  &lt;br /&gt;     ourself and others in Spanish.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Introduction of "regular (ar) verbs".  We learned the Spanish pronouns { yo,tú, él,ella,usted,&lt;br /&gt;    nosotros, nosotras, ellos, ellas, ustedes}.  Conjugating or modifying the verbs to match the&lt;br /&gt;    pronoun.  We will continue to practice this for the next couple of weeks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ viernes: Speaking quiz on general questions.  Most of the kids were prepared for this quiz.  If you&lt;br /&gt;     missed it, you need to make it up before the 16th of September.  The conjugation chart of the 30&lt;br /&gt;     verbs was also due.  This was worth 150 points.
