I believe every student has the potential to earn an “A” in my class and we will have a great year!

Keys to Success Bring all materials (HW, textbook, workbook, paper, and pencils) Volunteer frequently to answer questions orally or in writing Be prepared to answer questions when called upon Participate in oral activities Do written and oral class work Abide by the school’s rules and follow class rules Use only Chinese in class. Anytime students do not speak Chinese,

they will lose points. Be in class on time (when the bell rings, students should be in class

with all their materials ready to start)

** If a student loses the book, he or she needs to replace it as soon as possible.
