YOUR TEXTBOOK

En Español by McDougal Littell and the accompanying workbook and Así se dice.

 

DICTIONARY

I recommend that you purchase a Spanish/English Dictionary. This can be found at any bookstore, Wal-mart, Target or Staples. A good dictionary should cost about $5.00 to $12.00. You may also want to purchase a Spanish verb book; I recommend 501 Spanish Verbs. I have found this book in a few local stores, but you may have more luck finding it on the Internet.

 

CLASSROOM RULES

  1. Be respectful to your fellow classmates, your teacher and yourself.
  2. Keep combs, brushes and make-up put away!
  3. BRING ALL MATERIALS TO CLASS unless told otherwise.
  4. No eating or drinking in class (unless we are having a fiesta)
  5. Obey all school rules
  6. No excessive talking or other unnecessary noise.
  7. DO NOT line up at the door before the bell. If you do so, you will be the last to leave.
  8. Be prepared for class.
  9. PARTICIPATE!
  10. NO CELLPHONES OR MUSIC DEVICES OUT IN THE CLASSROOM!
  11. Don’t forget to ALWAYS wear your stylish ID Badge!

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

  1. Tardies – You must be in the classroom when the bell rings. All tardies will be recorded in the school attendance system (which does show up on Infinite Campus!. I will follow the school tardy policy which is outlined in the student handbook (located in the student’s agenda).
  2. Absences

                It is your responsibility to get your make-up work when you have been absent or when you have checked out early. If you miss a tests or quiz, you must see me to arrange a time before or after school to make-up the test or quiz.

  1. Cheating

                CHEATING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Cheating can be defined in many ways. The following list, taken from the student honor code, represents forms of cheating:

  • Taking information of ANY form into a test situation for the purpose of responding to test items or for the purpose of assisting others in responding to test items.
  • Plagiarism (the act of using or passing off the ideas/writings of another as one’s own.)
  • Copying assignments, including homework, notebooks, book reports, or other work,
  • Giving or taking information concerning a test/quiz after one individual has taken the quiz/test and the same form of the test/quiz is to be given in another class.
  • Talking during test situations, or exchange of information during test situation
  • ****GOING ON THE INTERNET TO TRANSLATE THINGS IS CONSIDERED CHEATING!

       IF YOU DO THIS, YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO FOR THE ASSIGNMENT IN QUESTION!

                                When substantial proof has been obtained that a student or group of students have been involved                                                in cheating, the student(s) WILL RECEIVE A ZERO on the assignment or test, and the parents will be contacted.

                                TIP: Internet translation sites translate things literally, so 99% of the time your sentences will not translate correctly. It is very easy to tell when someone has used the Internet to translate!

                               

  1. Late Work

                I DO NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK! This rule applies to EVERY assignment (homework, daily work, projects, etc.)   I DO understand that there ARE exceptions, so if a problem does arise come and talk to me or e-mail me so we can work out a solution.

  1. Extra Credit

            Will be available throughout the year

Please see the Glynn County Schools website for more information about Infinite Campus and what you will be able to do with it. I will also be sending grade printouts for parents to see grades. This should happen every 2 to 3 weeks and I ask that you sign this printouts and have your student return them to me.

I look forward to teaching you Spanish, a language I love! Learning a language is hard work and I expect the very best from you. Please let me know if you need help, that’s why I’m here!
