Spanish Advanced Placement Students to offer tutoring

Miss Murrell's Spanish AP students will be offering tutoring in Spanish after school on Wednesdays.

The game of Boules and Les Grottes de Scripps

Madame Leidhoff's first year French students learned to play boules or petanque, as well as vocabulary dealing with leisure activities.
Students of second year French studied the imperfect tense and the Caves of Lascaux and their discovery near the village of Montignac. Students found these cave drawings so compelling they were inspired to create their own. They call the wall Les Grottes de Scripps.

French Students Rehearse Plays

Mrs. Frederickson's French 5-6 students put the finishing touches on the plays they will perform next week. Lines are memorized and final props gathered. Lady Gaga sings all her lines. The evil queen in Snow White deserves her mirror-with-an-attitude. Scooby Doo speaks Scooby French and is hearing ghosts as always.

ASL students compete with original board games

Mrs. Lenhof's students just wrapped up an intense competetion in the Board Game Olympics based on vocabulary signs and grammar parameters for Units 3-14.  The students made up rules for their game board and played against other teams.  Each period tried to beat the others' time for using ASL conversationally while interpreting the signs on their cards.

All About Food

Mr. McVeigh's classes are doing presentations next week--all about food!  Spanish 1-2 students have created a diner menu and the Spanish 3-4 students will be "going out to a restaurant", ordering a meal and chatting with their friends.

Students study Hispanic culture!

Dr. Jacobson's Spanish 3-4 students are studying Hispanic cultural figures and presenting their research.  Here, a student presents artist Frida Kahlo and takes questions from the class.

Students visit Japan during Spring Break

Eight Scripps Ranch students spent their Spring Break in Japan with visits to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto through Explorica Travel Agency.  Mr. Blackwelder, SRHS Japanese teacher, chaperoned the trip and provided colleagues with a trip log via his Facebook account.  From sakura (cherry blossoms) to shabu shabu, by all accounts the students had a wonderful time!

Mmmmm delicieux! French students study Rochefort cheese!

Mrs. Leidhoff's students of fourth year French learned the process of making Rochefort cheese, the geography and industry of the villlage of Rochefort and the 2000 year old legend behind its invention. Afterwards, there was a sampling of the Rochefort cheese with Anjou pears, baguettes...mmmm delicieux!
