Welcome to Señor Kargol's first classwork/homework post, focusing on the week of 9/30 - 10/4! Please note that there are two sets of classes and associated information: Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. Please make sure you're looking at the correct class when consulting this page!
Also, a reminder that this is by no means a comprehensive list of everything that was done in class. Rather, it is a super-simplified list of the classwork and homework that students with excused absences are responsible for completing and turning in to Señor Kargol. For more specific information about exactly what was done in class on a given day, students are encouraged to check in with Señor Kargol and/or ask a classmate.
