Days of the week in Spanish
In Spanish, days of the week are not generally capitalized, and Monday
is usually considered the first day of the week.
Monday—lunes
Tuesday—martes
Wednesday—miércoles
Thursday—jueves
Friday—viernes
Saturday—sábado
Sunday—domingo
To express doing an activity on a day of the week, we use the definite
articles <<el>> and <<los>> to say “on”. If it only happens once, use
<<el>>. If it happens every
week, use <<los>>. Examples:
Voy a una fiesta el viernes. (I’m going to a party on Friday). Vamos a la casa de mis abuelos los domingos. (We go to my
grandparents’ house on Sundays).

They have also learned several prayers in Spanish, and we are learning the Apostles' Creed, as well.
For the quiz, each student will get three questions. Some examples of the types of questions are: "Name three things that you use in school each day." "What month were you born in?" "¿Qué día es hoy?" "¿Cómo te llamas?" "¿Cuántos años tienes?" They will be graded on pronunciation, fluency, correctness of the response and, if the question is in Spanish, on comprehension. They have done a fabulous job with this material in class, and I am confident that they will be just as successful on their quiz. ¡Buena suerte! :)
