¡Bienvenidos a la clase de español 1!

Sra. Firestone

Me llamo Sra. Firestone.Soy de Hiram, Georgia.

Me gusta la música y me gusta viajar.

I love music and I love to travel!I have been to 10 countries. You will quickly learn that Costa Rica is my second home. I have been there 15

times.

I'm a graduate of Hiram High School and I received my Bachelor's degree in Modern Languages from Georgia

Southern University. I have a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics/Spanish

from The University of Alabama where I also taught for two years. This is my

second year at RHS.

Presentaciones

Entering the classroom…1.Upon entering, you will sit in your assigned

seat and begin working on your bell ringer.

1.Once the tardy bell rings, you are LATE and my door will be closed. You must go and get a pass if you do not have one.

Assigned SeatsStarting today, you have assigned seats. These are not permanent and will change occasionally.

Refusing to sit in your assigned seat will result in detention.

Daily Bell RingersThese will be graded every Friday. (new RHS policy)

You can scan the QR code from the bell ringer poster or go to my OLC. We will call these our “cultura diaria”, or daily culture.

Daily bell ringers MUST be in your composition notebook.

Exiting the classroom…1. Before exiting, we will make sure all

areas are neat and clean. 2. I dismiss you, not the bell.3. Use the orange pass to go to the

restroom. Anywhere else, you must fill out the new RHS slip.

ParticipationParticipation is the KEY to success in Spanish class.Please raise your hand before you speak. Listen while others are talking. You will be called upon based on your chair number.Group work will take place daily.

To gain your attention…If I need to make an announcement, in order to gain your attention I will raise my hand until I have received everyone’s attention.

Device Policy

I decide when electronic devices are allowed to be used for educational purposes.

Please check the device use sign before using your phone or iPad.

I will take collect devices if used inappropriately.

Translator PolicyIt’s simple…..

The use of any electronic translator will result in the score of ZERO on any assignment.

The second violation will result in a discipline referral.

Materials and Supplies• Check your syllabus for required

supplies.• We have a class set of supplies, but

these are a privilege that will be taken away if the materials are misused or left unorganized.

What to do if you are absent…• If you are absent from my class, all notes and

assignments are located on my OLC. • I also keep hard copies of assignments in the boxes. • The boxes in the student section are also where you

will turn in work. They are organized by period.

You are responsible for what you miss!

Our classroom, Our home
