Do I have to study vocabulary?

Yes!!!!  It is very important to study your vocabulary.  If you do not study 
your vocabulary you will not learn Spanish.  It is important to review your 
words frequently.  The words you learn at the beginning of Spanish I will be 
used until the end of Spanish II.

What is the stamp sheet?

Your homework will usually be based on completion.  You will have a homework 
sheet on which you will collect stamps.  I will give you a stamps for each 
assignment you have completed.  These stamps are worth ten points each.  
At the end of the 4 1/2 and 9 weeks you will turn in your stamps sheet for 
your grade.

Is the stamp sheet important?

YES.  It is your responsibility to keep your stamp sheet.  You must not 
lose this sheet because it contains your grade.  If you lose your stamp 
sheet, your grade is lost as well.

What happens if we are late or absent?

I follow the OSHS attendance policy. PLEASE BE ON TIME! If you are not in 
the room when the bell rings, you are tardy. Your tardies are recorded on a 
tardy card. A fifth tardy will result in a detention, and 
subsequent tardies will result in a principal referral/call home/conference. 

We miss you when you are gone! If, however, you are absent, as it may 
happen, check the classroom activities list to see if you have missed any 
handouts. Ask a classmate for missed notes. Please be prepared to make up a 
missed quiz or test on the day that you return. If you miss class, but are 
in school the day an assignment is due, it is your responsibility to turn in 
the assignment on that day. If you know you are going to be gone for an 
extended time, we can make alternate arrangements, but please come and talk 
with me.

And lastly, is this class hard?

This class will challenge you. I have high expectations for each of you (and 
for myself) and I am confident that with dedication, hard work, 
perseverance, and effort, we will make this year a success together! This is 
a learning experience, and in learning, we all mistakes�that is part of the 
journey. Please know, however, that I am here to support you along that 
journey. We are along for the ride together!
