seat

Bring all needed material. Use a quiet voice to greet classmates. Every session, seek to work with different classmates. Please, be seated when the bell rings.

HomeworkHave your homework on top of your desk when class begins. If requested, discuss with your partner some difficulties or differences in your answers. Be ready to share these points with the class (HW discussion). Mistakes are most welcome! If requested, pass your HW to be placed in the HW tray. You have up to TWO academic days (M-F) to turn in. Points will be deducted for each day it is late.  After two days, the assignment will not be accepted. Assignments will not be accepted late if we went over them in class.

Right Now Activity

When you enter class, look at the board under the section “Ahora mismo” and follow the instructions right away.

Classroom procedures

Exit TicketTowards the end of the class, you will be given a card or small piece of paper to answer a question about main ideas in our lesson. Fill it up to your best knowledge and place it in the small box on you way out. This will give us a chance to self-assess our learning process and help us set up some goals.

Please, use bathrooms during recess or breaks. If you need to use the bathroom during class, wait until instructions are given. Quietly, fill out the “Using Bathroom Chart” (Name / Time out). Go directly to the bathroom , return promptly and fill out the “Time In” column. Resume working.

ROUTINES IN SPANISH

“Un minuto”

“Ordenar clase”

One minute activities (exit ticket or writing activities), where you will have a minute to complete the task. You need to do your best and it is okay if you don’t fully complete the task. That is part of what we need to assess: how can we get better in that topic/task..

After certain activities or towards the end of the class, students will have to put in order desks, materials and clean the room.

•Stand up in a semi-circle in front of the class.•Round 1: Repeat and mimic what teacher says and do.•Round 2: Teacher says, you mimic. You can look at your peers for some help.•Round 3: Close your eyes. Try to mimic what the teacher says. If you don’t know…”No hay problema”…•We’ll repeat again

“Presten atención”

“La palabra del día”

• At the end of certain activities, teacher will raise her hand, requesting your special attention.• Please, in silence, raise your hand as a sign that you are ready to pay attention. • In a few silent seconds all students should be, ready to listen to what she has to say.

• Pass papers to the student closer to the assignment tray as fast as possible.• We will practice a system to have this done in a few seconds.

• In alphabetical order, students will choose the word of the day in every lesson.• The word should be a new word that you believe is particularly challenging or that you need to learn.•A few times during class the teacher will say the word and students will have to repeat it with their best Spanish pronunciation.
