Hola and welcome to Spanish! I am looking forward to working with you this semester. My goal for the class is to actively engage students in their language learning process through a number of real-life simulations and meaningful activities. Because fluency is the ultimate goal of language-learning, I will conduct the class partially in Spanish, more in the upper levels. We will enhance listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while examining the language and the culture of those who speak it. In this website you will find important information about your child's Spanish class: topics we are learning, homework, due dates, resources,...
We are going to work hard together to make our class as successful as possible! Here are some of our classroom policies and procedures:
HOW TO SUCCEDD IN IHIS CLASS
My goal is to maintain a positive atmosphere where we can all learn and practice our Spanish to our greatest potential. In order for this to happen, students must adhere to the following procedures:
« Be on time. – This does not only mean being in the door, but also being seated with homework out on the desk and working on the warm-up.
« Be respectful. – Our class is a community, therefore no making fun of others, no talking while others are talking, and no rude comments. Students are expected to raise their hands to speak and to respect the property of others.
« No drinks, food, or gum. When learning to speak a foreign language it is difficult to utilize your mouth when these items are occupying that space.
« Be prepared. Everyday have your pencil/pen, paper, Spanish binder and notebook, and any assignments for class.
« Speak as much Spanish as you can. You will not get better in Spanish if you don’t practice in class the concepts you are learning. The more you practice the more comfortable you will be.
