My Elementary Classroom Rules!

  1. Please have a sharpened pencil and crayons for each class. Grades 2-5 are required to have their notebook, workbook and/or book.
  2. Please raise your hand and wait until called upon before speaking.
  3. Please particpate and speak in Spanish. This is the best way to learn the language.
  4. Remember that singing and games are a big part of Spanish class, but when I am teaching you must be quiet and listen.
  5. Grades 2 & 3 should be prepared for assigned quizes by studying vocabulary at home.
  6. Grade 4 & 5 should be prepared for assigned quizes and homework by taking their book home and returning with it on Spanish day.
  7. Have fun and learn!

My Middle School Classroom Rules!

  1. Please have your Spanish book, notebook, pen or pencil for each class.
  2. Please raise your hand and wait until called upon before speaking.
  3. Please do not "copy and paste" for any research project assigned in class. Use your own words and ideas.
  4. Please do not use Internet translation sites for homework assignments. All needed vocabulary is located in the textbooks.
  5. Homework in Spanish class is almost always graded. Please be prepared to turn it in the very next Spanish class.
  6. Late homework will immediately begin losing points, however, due to the unique nature of the bi-weekly Spanish class, homework is always accepted (minus late points), even if it is after the due date.
  7. Participation in class is key to learning the language.
  8. Please be aware that a 'U' grade in Spanish class will keep you off the honor roll.
  9. Please speak with me directly with any questions and concerns. My goal is to teach you Spanish and it is one that I take very seriously.
  10. Have fun and speak Spanish!
