AllAbout My Classroom Classroom Rules Classroom Expectations Grading Important Issues Discipline
Classroom Rules: • Be on-time: • In your seat and materials out when the bell rings • 3 latenesses = detention • 4 latenesses = office referral • When the bell rings, work on your warm-up • Warm-ups are a part of your classwork grade • The teacher, not the bell, dismisses you at the end of the period
Expectations • This is Spanish class! You must attempt to use the language and what you learn… I want to hear you speak and see you write in Spanish! • Be creative with your work… BE AUTHENTIC • Be respectful of your surroundings: • Your environment • Your teachers • Your classmates • Yourself!
Grading • Your grade is weighted: • Tests/Quizzes 50% • PBTs 30% • Classwork/Homework20% • Cheating: • You must do your own work – cheating on a test/quiz/PBT results in a zero • Plagiarism: • Using words that you have not learned • Online translating word-for-word • Using native speakers to do your work • Notebook: this helps keep you organized! • Warm-ups • Notes • Classwork/Homework • Tests/Quizzes/Project information
Important Issues • Bathroom breaks • No one leaves the room. I get you for 50 minutes. This time is crucial for speaking in the target language. • Absences/Make-up work • It’s up to YOU! • Check the make-up work bin • Make an appointment with me afterschool- no exceptions
Discipline • You are expected to behave properly in class • If, however, you choose to act inappropriately and unbecoming of a respectable young adult, you will also chooseto accept full responsibility for your actions. • Consequences: I run a tight ship! • 1st offense = verbal warning • 2nd offense = teacher/parent/student meeting • 3rd offense = detention • 4th offense = office referral
