I will continue to post announcements here. All work, learning, enrichment, etc. will be posted in Google Classroom. It’s been an adjustment this past week.
I am proud of all of you that have been checking-in and
doing everything.
On Wednesday we finished the Ronda 1 for Manía Musical/Locura de marzo 2020. You can start filling out your Brackets and make your predictions of which songs will move on to Ronda 2, 3, Finales and the Campeón. You can choose to print-out the brackets and fill them in manually, or fill out the Word document or Power Point Slide — It is up to you. You only have to do one.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT DUE TODAY. YOU CAN TURN THIS IN NEXT WEEK TUESDAY.
Have a safe, healthy, and peaceful weekend.
Abrazos
virtuales – Señora Chávez
P.S. I shared dance videos for a lot of our Manía Musical/Locura de marzo – just in case you feel like dancing, or doing some exercise while you are at home.
Espero que todos estén bien. I hope everyone is doing well. Just sending another reminder to make sure you are checking your Spanish Class/Hour Google Classroom. I will be posting all work there.
I also sent out a mass email to everyone yesterday. Students make sure you are checking your email daily — if you can.
I posted the slides for our Mania Musical / Locura de marzo Ronda 1.7 y 1.8. Make sure you vote for your favorites from Ronda 1.7 y 1.8! Make sure your vote counts!

This week we are going to continue with our Manía Musical/Locura de
marzo on Monday and Wednesday. I am
debating if we should continue Mania Musical while we are out, or continue when
we go back to school??? I will ask you
in the google form and see what you-all think.
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I will continue with Cultura Diaria.
Conducting class online is new to many of us. Let’s see how this goes.
Make sure you go to GOOGLE CLASSROOM for your daily work/assignments.
Also, please take a look at the list on GoogleClassroom. These are the students that have not sent me a reply to my announcement on Friday. If you are friends with any of them can you please send them a text, tweet, snap-chat, etc. to check google classroom for Spanish. If they do not have the GoogleClassroom code they can contact me at chavezm@dearbornschools.org
If any of you have questions please do not hesitate to email me.

En México se celebra el Día de los Muertos el 1 y 2 de noviembre. El primero se dedica a los angelitos – los niños difuntos, y el segundo es para los adultos difuntos. Durante estos dos días se celebra la vida de nuestros seres queridos que ya no están con nosotros en la tierra. La celebración es para que los seres queridos difuntos sigan viviendo en nuestros recuerdos y corazones.
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday celebrated on November 1st and 2nd throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures on. The 1st is dedicated to the “little angels” – departed infants and children, and the 2nd is for departed adults. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends where we remember and prepare special foods in honor of those who have departed. It is believed that if we celebrate the memory of our departed loved ones they will never be forgotten.
Hay un dicho en México que dice:
Todos morimos tres veces
– La primera cuando dejas de respirar
– La segunda cuando regresamos a la madre tierra
– La tercera cuando alguien pronuncia tu nombre por última vez – cuando ya no hay nadie más que nos recuerde.
There is a saying in Mexico that says:
We all die three times:
-The first when you stop breathing.
-The second when we return to mother earth.
-The third when someone pronounces your name for the last time – when there is no one left to remember you.
Aquí está un video que nos muestra la importancia de recordar a nuestros seres queridos que han muerto y de compartir la tradición de Día de los Muertos con nuestros hijos(as).
