Sol and Stephanie dedicated their time to enhancing Spanish conversational skills, specifically practicing self-introductions and sharing basic personal details. Their lesson also delved into core grammar, reviewing the correct usage of 'uno,' 'un,' and 'una,' along with pronunciation rules for the alphabet, days of the week, and how to express dates in the language. Sol will provide Stephanie with a PowerPoint presentation for further independent review.

Sol and Anthony dedicated their time to a Spanish lesson, where they honed their understanding of grammar, specifically articles, the verbs *ser* and *estar*, adjective usage, and the verb *ir*.

Sol concluded the lesson by recommending Anthony focus on building his vocabulary and bring any grammar questions from his independent study to their next meeting.

Sol instructed Stephanie on the Spanish verbs "ser" and "estar," delving into their conjugations and proper application for distinguishing between permanent and temporary states. Stephanie actively practiced constructing sentences with adjectives and cognates, and completed exercises designed to help her differentiate between "ser" and "estar." Their next lesson is tentatively set for Thursday at 4 PM, with flexibility for adjustment based on Stephanie's schedule.

Sol and Renee's Spanish lesson focused on reflexive verbs, delving into their conjugation and practical use for describing daily routines. Renee actively practiced forming sentences with these verbs.

Sol and Tarus dedicated their Spanish lesson to verb conjugations, specifically honing in on the uses of 'ser' and 'estar' to express 'to be' in various contexts.

They have set their next class for Friday at 5:00 p.m. to further practice these essential concepts.
