Here's some review stuff you can do to practice your skills over break. Try these practice quizzes. After you submit your responses, the answers should appear and you can check your work.  

If you want to keep practicing present tense verb conjugation (many of you should consider reassessing on this skill), then go to conjuguemos and conjugate irregular verbs. 

Practice activities for school actions vocab are available at this site. Practice activities for daily routine vocab are available at this site.


And, you can always watch Mi Vida Loca as long as you don't tell anyone what happens! We watched episodio 3 today!
