Bienvenidos a la clase de español!

Señora BryantLa sala 1407Lebanon High School

Sra. Bryant’s Recipe for success:

Arrive to class on time, alert and prepared

Raise hand often to participate and ask questions

Do homework every night to the best of my ability

Study vocabulary at least 10-15 minutes each day

Study 1-2 hours before a quiz or test Ask for extra help when necessary

Materials you will need:

3-ring binder Five dividers Paper Pens and Pencils Colored pencils/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, being off-task 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 Super Cool!!!

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 may result in a detention.

What to do if you are absent… Check Señora Bryant’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.

Ask Señora Bryant for any handouts. Copy any notes from when you were absent. Schedule an appointment to make up any tests

or quizzes. Once the allotted number of days have passed, you will receive a zero for the test or quiz.

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 Extra participation points

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

Consequences will be given!!!
