WELCOME TO SPANISH CLASS!


Learning Spanish is not easy, but is very important for the future of our children. We will be beginning with the basics in each class. I want to ensure students have a firm foundation in Spanish phonology, syntax, and basic grammar. Then we will slowly build on what they have learned and will continue to gain communicated skills based on context. The first period will use the textbook Bienvenidos. The second period will use the textbook Buen viaje, the fifth period will use Buen viaje. The sixth period will use Accion and the seventh period will use Como te va.

The most important part of learning some language is the skills of speaking. Because of that we will do as much speaking and listening during class time. Therefore, in order to complement the in class activities, students will have a great deal of homework assignment to reinforce the new material. We will have a short quiz once every week. The test is every Friday and covers the week’s material and some review of past lesson. Language learning is cumulative and students cannot forget previous material. We have the final exam at the end of each semester.

ATTENDANCE

Please review the school’s policies regarding excused, unexcused absences and tardiness. Students should be seated and ready for the day’s class when the tardy bell rings for all other classes. Being punctual helps students learn the importance of self responsibly.
When the student is absent should bring a written excuse from parent when he or she returns to school.

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR AND DISCIPLINE

Students and parents will receive a handbook that outlines the school’s policies regarding behavior and discipline. We will establish procedures for every activity in the class. I will expect a positive learning climate in our classroom. The rules are simple to follow:

1. Always be prepared and ready to learn.
2. Do what is expecting of you.
3. Do not disturbing the classroom activities and learning of the others.

LEARNING SPANISH IS NOT EASY AND IT REQUIRES THE ATTENTION, PARTICIPATION, AND COOPERATION OF ALL INVOLVED.


PARENTS, REMEMBER: YOU ARE VERY I M P O R T A N T PART OF THIS PROCESS.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.
