Semana 15


Reminders & Announcements
Monday - Profesora Trujillo is still sick. P6 & P8 please, help our substitute teacher during the lesson.

Portafolio de escucha: Coraline reminder - Many of you have not completed this assignment. Remember that you need to turn in the portafolio in Google classroom. Open the doc I provided you with, read the instruction, and type the entire worksheet in it. There is a reflection piece that you need to complete too. Grades are due soon, and the grade you have in will become permanent, unless you finish the work.

I'd like to remind you at this time the importance of participating, and working in teams during class.
Having a positive attitude is important when learning. If you are still wondering how to get a good grade, remember what the expectations are:

  • be respectful with the teacher and your peers. 
  • pay attention and focus on the task at hand.
  • pay attention when the teacher is explaining.
  • be ready to work (bring out materials)
  • be proactive and mindful. I value team work. Help your team learn Spanish. 
  • if you have a question, please first ask your peers for help. Raise your hand, and I will be there to help you when I possibly can. Our classes are large, if you see me busy, write your question, and ask it when I go near your table. 
  • Spanish class is for Spanish. So, please, make sure you put away other materials. I expect you to be focused, and to work hard.

Last but not least:  Cellphones are powerful tools, but their use in our classroom is for learning. Learning how to use them at school is very important, so I hope I don't have to spend a lot of time taking phones. Our time is too valuable.
