you do…)

HOW TO GET AN ‘A’ IN SPANISH

• Each day, take out your Spanish binder and

homework.

• Complete the bell work (“Calentamiento”)

quietly.

don’t get it.

José JohnsonHora 1Fecha

Write last name or last initial every time!

Write the hour every time!

In many Latin American countries, the date is written day/month/year

ie: 3/9/13

• If you are absent, you should (in this order):

1. Check the wall calendar(Find any necessary worksheets in the

colored drawers.)

2. Ask your partner

3. Check with me (if needed)

• You have ONE day for each absent day to make up work or it becomes LATE.

ABSENT?

• Do your daily practice. Don’t be afraid of Spanish words.

• Email me with questions!

• Study the vocabulary (separately from what’s

assigned).

• Study with a friend (but do your own work).

• Wordreference.com = good

• Google translate = baaaaaad (cheating ZERO)

AT HOME

• You will have daily practice assigned most days.

• Practice may or may not be checked for credit on a daily basis, though I reserve the right to do so at any time. It is your responsibility to be

accountable for your effort.

• Late work may be completed for 50% credit before or after school with Sra. Stewardson within one week of due date. No late work will be

accepted that is completed outside of class or beyond a week after due date.

• Hint: JUST DO IT THE FIRST TIME!

• All work not completed on time or with Sra. Stewardson will receive a 0.

• If I suspect cheating, I reserve the right to give a 0.

DAILY PRACTICE

• Don’t leave class ever. Just don’t.

If you are not in class, you are not

learning!

• (If you must, stay tuned….)

HALL PASSES

• You will receive 2 Grace Passes each quarter.

• You may use a Grace Pass for any of the following:

- to turn in a late assignment without penalty

- to excuse a tardy

- to use a hall pass

- to take a “Day Off” (Requires BOTH Grace Passes)

• Students will be rewarded for unused passes turned in at the end of the quarter.

GRACE PASSES

• Daily practice and test reminders

• Totally anonymous
