The ABC’s to SUCCESS in Spanish
A Arrive on
time! You should be in your seat, ready to begin work when class
begins.
B Bring to class:
1. Your textbook
4. Your Spanish homework
2. A
notebook
5. Your Practice Workbook and WAVA
3. A pencil or pen
6. A positive attitude and a smile
C Complete assignments before coming to class.
The homework is considered late if it is not finished when class
begins. If you are studying at home and do not understand an
assignment, call a classmate, or e-mail me at amron@psdschools.org
Ch Cheating: Zero tolerance for cheating. Keep eyes on own
paper. If you look at someone’s
paper during a test or quiz – both you and THEY will receive a zero on the
assignment. Keep your tests and quizzes covered at all times.
D Don’t!! Don’t talk
when the teacher is talking or when a classmate is talking. Raise hand to speak and wait to be called
upon. Don’t use English unless it is
absolutely necessary!
E Extra help can be arranged before or
after school. Also, you can find another Spanish student to help you. There are many resources to help you and
to provide you with practice on the links on my web page: http://staffweb.psdschools.org/amron/index.html
F Find you what you missed when you are gone.
All class lesson plans and work are posted on the calendars on my web
page: http://staffweb.psdschools.org/amron/index.html
Find handouts from members of your team or on the bookcase by
the classroom door. You have two
days to turn in your missing work when you are absent. No late work is accepted except for
excused absences.
G Get a good Grade

Grades are based on homework, class work, classroom participation, tests
and quizzes. We will have a quiz almost every week. Extra credit activities are
available. No more than 5% of total
points possible for the class.
Points may also be subtracted for negative behaviors.
H Homework: There is homework
pretty much every day. STUDY WHAT WE PRACTICED IN CLASS.
Completed assignments are due at the beginning of the period. Dates
for assignments and tests are on my webpage. Print out the page and
all of the links from any days that you are absent. Pick up handouts from team members. Do not discuss any make-up work with
instructor during class time – make an appointment for before school, after
school or at lunch. YOU SHOULD NOT ONLY KNOW WHAT GOES IN
THE BLANK ON HOMEWORK – BUT ALSO THE MEANING OF EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND IT
IN THE SENTENCE!!!
I Immerse yourself in Spanish
during class and at home as much as possible. Greet Doña Norma and your classmates in Spanish, check out
books and videos, watch the Spanish channel, read
Spanish posters and bulletin boards.
J Just have fun! Learning a foreign
language is a lot of fun, but it doesn’t just happen. It takes a lot of practice.
K Kindness is essential. Please be
kind towards each other, Doña Norma, any
substitute teachers and visitors we may have in the classroom.
Consequences will be given to anyone who is being disrespectful or rude.
L Listen. Listening and speaking go
hand in hand.
Ll
Llamar - share phone numbers among the members of your team. Call a team member is you have questions
about homework, if you do not understand the website information on what we
did in class when you were absent or whenever you have a group project.
M Mimick.
Even though you may not be sure what you are mimicking, it will help you
learn the language. This is how you learned your first language.
N Ñ No, No, No, No. No food or drink in
the room without permission of instructor. No leaving trash on the floor. No writing on desks, chairs, or any
other place in classroom other than designated. No leaving the classroom without
permission and without signing out on the board. No disrespectful behavior toward instructor
or other students.
O Opportunities. Take advantage of any
opportunities to learn more about the language and cultures. (ie. Spanish camps, summer
abroad programs, exchanges programs, be a friend to an exchange student, or
maybe even host an exchange student, even watch the Spanish chanels on
TV or DVD’s set to Spanish with English subtitles)
P Practice. Practice makes
perfect. You need to practice it to be able to remember it.
Q Questions. Please feel free to ask
questions. There are no stupid questions, and more often then not,
someone else may be thinking of the same question.
R Repeat, repeat, repeat!
Rr Rrrrroll the R’s. This may take some
practice, just try it!
S Smile! It will make you and everyone around you
feel much better.

teach, you and your classmates are here to learn. Please be on time
and ready to learn together.
