1/3
Welcome back! I hope you had a restful break. I am looking
forward to gettingto know and working with each of my students this
year. I have put together thefollowing so that all my expectations
are clear.
Teacher : Seora Rickwood Class : Spanish 1, Spring
2007Objectives: Students will learn to read, write, speak and
listen in Spanish. Students will also becomefamiliar with the
cultures of certain Spanish speaking countries through exposure to
current events, culture,and geography. Speaking and listening
activities are as important as written in this
class!!!Attendance/Participation: Attendance and participation is a
very important part of succeeding in a Foreign
Language class. Missing even a few days of class can put you
very far behind both in grades and missinginformation. All students
are expected to actively participate in and all activities and
discussions. Learningfrom practice (and from mistakes) is essential
to building foreign language skills. Work missed because of cutting
can not be made up.Materials: In order for students to excel in
this class, they should bring their materials to class every day.
ByMonday, August 9 all students are expected to have all materials
needed for Spanish.
Text: Venconmigo Homework and class work can come from either
the text or workbook which will bedistributed to students in class.
Books should be returned in the same condition as issued.
Binder: Each student will need to keep a 3 ring binder, loose
leaf paper, and 4 dividers to divide it intosections of notes,
handouts, homework/class work and roleplay sheets.
Note Cards: Part of the grade for this class will be based on
completion of flash cards for the vocabularyin each unit. You may
do these on note cards; or just use cut up paper . The flash cards
must be of a reasonable size and written neatly. Students will not
receive full credit if there are more than threevocabulary words on
each card. Torn strips of paper do not make acceptable flash
cards!!
USB/Flash Drive: Students who are issued a Laptop must back up
ALL SCHOOL FILES on a USBmemory device of some kind. It is the
students responsibility to acquire and maintain this device.
Help: If you ever have any trouble understanding and need extra
help, let me know. I stay late after school.Do not hesitate to ask
for help.Classroom Procedures: These procedures are designed to
create a disruption free environment whereeveryone can learn.1.
Respect: respect the teacher, your fellow students, yourself, and
the property of others. If you need
to use anything from the teachers desk, table, or overhead cart
ask permission.2. Be Prepared: Be in your seat when the bell rings
with necessary materials and homework.3. Follow Computer Rules:
Follow all school and classroom rules as they apply to you. Be
prepared,
save it where you can find it, stay on the teachers sites, ask
to use computers, 45*.4. Orderly Behavior and Good Attitude: Stay
in your seat and work quietly unless the teacher
indicates otherwise. Talking is only appropriate when it is part
of the lesson and when students waittheir turn. Students should
raise their hand if they need to leave their seat for any reason.
Come toclass with a positive attitude and be willing to work.
5. You may leave the room only in case of emergency: Emergencies
will be defined by theteacher.**
6. Food, drink, and chewing gum belong elsewhere: If brought
into the classroom they will beconfiscated, regardless of what they
are and whether they have been opened.
**Restroom Policy: Students should go to the bathroom before
they come to class. If a student absolutelymust go to the bathroom
during class, the student will make up the missed class time for 10
minutes after school later that week. This is not a disciplinary
action, but class time is valuable and missed class time mustbe
made up.Consequences for not following procedures:1 st time:
Warning.2 nd time: Fifteen minutes after school detention. (24 hr
notice)3 rd time: Half hour after school detention, possible work
detail, and letter or call home.4 th time: Referral to appropriate
administrator.Computer Consequences: I reserve the right to take
students off of the computer in my classfor any amount of time if
computer procedures are not followed.
