I can't wait to get to know you all and have a successful school year. Students are asked to bring the following supplies to EVERY CLASS: o 2 Notebooks o Two pocket folder o At least TWO pens or pencils Grading Policy A= 90-100 B= 80-89 C= 72-79 D= 66-71 F= 0-65 10% - Homework 15% - Quizzes 75% -Tests Entering the Classroom Please enter the classroom quietly and appropriately. You are expected to be in your seat and QUIETLY working when the bell rings! Have your homework out on the desk to be checked and begin working on the DO NOW activity. Every day when you enter class, there will be an HACER AHORA-DO NOW on the board. Homework Policy Homework is important in Spanish class. It reinforces what you learned in class and gives you more practice outside of school. Remember learning a language only happens through lots of PRACTICE! 10 completed homework assignments in a row will get you a free homework pass! Notebook Policy A great notebook has the following written down as the title: o Name o Date o Type of Work: either a Do Now, Classwork or Homework Absences o In the event of an absence, missed class notes, assignments, quizzes and tests are the responsibility of the student and must be completed within 2 days of the absence. Assignments given in after that time period will be assigned a zero. o All missed homework assignments can be viewed on my classroom website. o Get missed notes from a class buddy or from Señorita Metz or me after school. Classroom Rules o o o o o o Be seated and working when the bell rings. Treat each person with respect and dignity. Leave your notebook and folder in an ORGANIZED manner where it belongs in the class. Follow all class procedures for classwork, hw etc. Follow all rules and guidelines in the student agenda book (no cell phones, gum chewing, etc.). The bell does not dismiss the class, the teacher does. Classroom Procedures o o o o o o Walk quietly to your seat. Get your materials from your class bin and have your pen/pencil ready.
