The Spanish class document provides instructions for two activities. The first activity has students practice days of the week in Spanish by matching cards with the written and spoken names. The second activity has students order cards with the days of the week starting from a given day shown on the screen. The document also includes vocabulary about dates, months, and asking questions related to time in Spanish.
