Dear Parents,
I had the task of moving from my original classroom to a portable on a short
notice. So I had to pack and move over the weekend. There were a few snags
such as no internet, gradespeed, etc. I hope to update gradespeed as soon as
possible. Your children are enjoying their new classroom since it is bigger
than the classroom they were in. Any move takes a little getting use to but
they are great troopers. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
Sincerely, Sra. Spicer
Course objectives:
To teach the Spanish language through reading, speaking, listening, and
writing. As well as through the study of Spanish grammar and literature.
MATERIALS
Students need loose leaf paper, (no spirals!), a pen and pencil, a 2 inch 3-
ring binder, and a Spanish/English dictionary. Students should keep their
binder orderly at all times. Students also need a composition bound notebook
for journaling. Students are advised to keep everything that is returned to
them, as they will have a notebook grade once per six weeks!
NOTEBOOKS
Notebooks will be taken up for a grade once per six weeks. The notebook is
counted as a test grade and is averaged in with the test grades. It is
designed to help those students that are having difficulty on tests. In the
notebook, the student will provide (in the order required) Guided Practice
Assignments, Practice Workbook Assignments, Notes, Handouts, Homework
assignments. If a student has failed to complete certain homework
assignments, he/she is given a chance to do them and turn them in the
notebook, just for the notebook grade. So there is no excuse for a poor
notebook grade. It's very simple to do, if a student will just do the work
and keep track of his/her things!
WORKBOOKS
Workbooks are provided by the teacher and will be completed in class.
However, if a student is absent, these sheets are to be done as part of their
homework. For each new lesson learned, the students will complete one or
two of the sheets and will have them completed at the end of the chapter.
These sheets are very important because they are a great study source for a
chapter test!!! Students are allowed to keep them to study and will turn
them in on each test day. They are taken as homework grades.
AUDIO / VIDEO
(Part of homework grade) Students will be listening to audio segments and
watching certain video segments related to the chapter's vocabulary and
grammar. There will be worksheets provided during these times. Students are
graded on their participation and effort here, not on perfection! When a
student is absent, there is no need to make up these items, they are simply
omitted.
Grading Policy:
Tests 40%
Quizzes 30%
Dailywork 20%
Homework 10%
Tutorials:
Tuesday, 8:15 to 8:45, Thursday, 4:15 to 5:00. Tutorials also by
appointment.
Make-Up Work: All make-up work is the responsibility of the student.
It is the responsibility of the student to
make arrangements with the teacher to take missed quizzes or tests after
school within 3 days of their absence otherwise it will be marked with a
grade of zero.
Extra help:
Further instructions will be given in class.
