Bienvenidos a la clase de español

Señorita WoesteLa sala 1405Lebanon High School

Srta. Woeste’s Recipe for success:

Arrive to class on time, alert and prepared

Raise hand often to participate (in Spanish) and ask questions

Do homework every night to the best of your ability

Study vocabulary at least 10-15 minutes each day. Daily study will prepare you for quizzes or tests

Materials you will need:

3-ring binder Three dividers Paper Pencils Colored pencils or Markers

Grade System Total Points earned/total possible points

= grade average Example: 400/500=.80=80% Grading Scale:

92-100 A83-91 B74-82 C65-73 D0-64 F

Participation Each time a student raises his or her

hand and answers correctly in Spanish, he/she will receive one participation point.

Every few weeks each student’s points are added together and converted to a grade based on the class average for participation.

Grades reflect the students’ frequency and ability to speak Spanish in class.

The dreaded “Págame”

“Págame” a.k.a. “pay me” one participation pt.

Given as a consequence for speaking out in English without permission or disrupting class.

Why is it so important for us to speak only Spanish in

class? When you were a baby and

first learned English, did your mommy speak to you in Japanese?

Your brain naturally follows the path of least resistance and will not hear Spanish if English is also floating around the classroom.

Spanish is Supercool!!!

Tarea Homework Tarea

Homework assignments are checked or collected at the beginning of class each day.

No late homework will be accepted (even if it is finished and in your locker).

Repeated failure to turn in homework assignments will result in a parent phone call.

Copying someone else’s homework is CHEATING. You and the person whose work your copied will each earn a zero.

What to do if you are absent… Check Señorita Woeste’s website for homework

and assignments. There is 1:1 ratio for make up days. Therefore, if you missed one day, all work must be turned in one day after you return.

Upon returning ask me for any worksheets or handouts for the days you were absent.

Copy any notes missed during your absence. Schedule an appointment to make up any tests or

quizzes within 2 days. You must take them within the appropriate time (1:1 ratio). You will receive a zero for the test or quiz that is not made up.

Make up work is your personal responsibility!

¡Bien hecho! When you do a good job in Spanish

class you could receive: Warrior rewards Positive phone calls or emails home Oral praise

Dis-R-E-S-P-E-C-T…a BIG “NO, NO”… To Señorita Woeste To the Spanish language To classmates To yourself

Consequences will be given to those who show disrespect.

Gratis! Gratis! Gratis!

You get two freebies!Bathroom passesYou will have 2 per semester. You must have your passbook to go.Per school rules… there are no locker passes.

Tarde On time means in the room and in your seat. You get two free tardies (per quarter) after which arriving late to class equals a school detention.
