Parent night.

It was awesome to meet so many parents last night at Parent's Night! 6th grade raffle winners will be posted soon. I decided it probably wouldn't be the best idea to put up the winners' names on the interweb... ;-)

All prizes *have* been awarded. Thanks for playing!

More Notes!

Notes on 'kommen' and 'Wie geht's?' can be found here if you lost the study guide.

MORE ALPHABET STUFF!

So...we threw in diphthongs today. Diphthongs are two vowels that are put together to produce a new vowel sound. The ones we went over were:

ei - "eye" like in Heidi Einstein, mein, dein, nein

ie - like in Justin Bieber or Wien, the capital of Austria (pronounced 'veen')

au - pronounced 'ow' as in autsch!!! (ouch)

eu - pronounced "oy" like in oy vey... Deutsch! Euro! Neuschwanstein!
