Welcome to Spanish IntroSra. Lenihan Classroom Rules
Gum • This is a NO gum zone!
Entering the classroom • You are NOT allowed in the classroom if I am not present. • Please wait outside the classroom until I arrive.
When the bell rings! • In order to be released, the classroom MUST be clean and organized. • Once the school bell rings at the end of the period, you MUST remain seated…I will release you by rows/sections. • The bell does NOT release you!
Teacher Platform & Desk • The platform area is my work area. • Everything on my desk, computer desk, and file cabinet is off limits to students. • Do not borrow my tape dispenser, stapler, 3 hole punch, paper, pencil, pen, etc.
Planner • Purchase a CMS Planner. • You are REQUIRED to write all daily assignments from the board into your planner. • It is important that you do NOTsummarize the information.
Hallway Passport • Hallway Passport page in Planner: CMS requires that students leaving the classroom, for any reason, complete the Hallway Passport page in the CMS Planner (in its entirety). • For example: If I am not instructing the class, and you need to leave the classroom, fill out the Hallway Passport, bring it to me (with a pen) for my signature and you carry the planner with you…this is your pass. • NOTE: Students are permitted to leave the classroom only 3 times per 6 week period!
Daily Warm-ups • Daily Warm-ups will be presented on the wall through the classroom projector. • You will use your spiral notebook for these assignments. • If you are absent, Daily Warm-ups MUST be made up…especially since these are used for tests.
Binder • You are REQUIRED to keep an organized binder. • Spanish Intro does not use a textbook, so most of the information covered will be in form of handouts, Power Point presentations, notes, etc.
Recycle, Recycle, Recycle! • Please try to recycle paper whenever possible! • I have a blue plastic crate by the purple bins specifically for this! • Not only do we help the environment by recycling but CMS gets a small percentage of the money for being a part of this city-wide program.
Quiet Signal • You will have plenty of time to work in groups and/or with partners throughout the semester…because it gets a bit loud in the classroom, I will use a bell to signal the end of discussions! NOTE: The bell is rung ONLYby me!
Location • Locker Jam Pass: For locker problems, students carry ONLY this pass and NOT the CMS Planner Hallway Passport. I have 2, located in the white plastic container on the wall by the entry door.
Location(continued) • Trashcans:I have 2, one located next to my desk and one located by the recycle bin. • Electric pencil sharpener:I have 1, located on the red table below the U.S. flag… in front of my computer desk…do NOT sharpen colored pencils. • 3 hole punch:I have 1, located on the table by the entrance.
Location(continued) • Stapler:I have 1 located on the table by the entrance. • Clocks: I have 2, one is hanging on the wall by the U.S. flag, the 2nd is located on the opposite wall. • Bell Schedules: I have 2 sets located below the clocks. Please do not ask me when the bell is scheduled to ring, I do not have the times memorized (nor do I intend to do so).
Location(continued) • Hand Sanitizer & Tissue Box:I have 1 sanitizer located on top of the purple cabinet; 2 tissue boxes, 1 is located on the table by the entrance and the other on top of the purple cabinet.
Work Returned File • Located on the table by the entry door. • If you are absent, it is your responsibility to check for work that was returned during your absence.
Candies • I offer candies as rewards for classroom games and competitions. • Also, you may purchase 1 candy (only1 per day) with 2 of my tickets at the END of the period...if time allows.
The Book You will be required to sign “The Book” for any of the following offenses… • Disrespect for each other, the teacher and/or substitute. • If I am talking to or instructing the class, the following will not be tolerated: - conversing with others - laughing with others - passing notes - using sign language - napping - yelling across the room - standing up to walk to trashcan, pencil sharpener, tissue box, hand sanitizer, etc. - asking to go to the bathroom, to drink water, and/or to locker
The Book (continued) • Inappropriate language will also NOT be tolerated (especially insults aimed at each other)…no matter how funny you think you are! • If I have to ask for your attention or call your name out for any reason, that constitutes a strike against you and will lead to a Book signature. • Don’t argue your case, this is NOT a democracy. • Signatures are logged into my online grade book, so that parents can access the information. • I do NOT give warnings!
Cheating Cheating is defined (according to the District Handbook) as giving or receiving information on a test OR submitting duplicated homework for a class or class project. • A grade of “Zero” will be given for the work involved, and the grade of “Zero” shall be averaged with the other grades. • Teacher will make a parent contact to inform the parent of the incident and the grade. • A conduct slip will be written for documentation of first time cheating. • If second time cheating occurs, a conduct slip is written. The student then receives a Saturday class and a grade of zero on the assignment.
Make-up Work • If you are absent, it is your responsibility to check for work that you missed by speaking with me at the beginning of the class period. For example, a good time would be when I am taking attendance and the rest of the class is working on warm-ups. • Please do NOT speak to me outside the classroom!
PurpleHomework Pass • Your pass will provide you with: • 1 homework pass per 6-week period • 1 birthday pass for 2 free candies • If/when you decide to use your pass, I will hole punch the appropriate pass number Homework Pass 1 2 3 Birthday Pass La fecha: _______
Dress Code • You WILL be participating in many group activities that involve sitting on the floor. So, no short shorts, no short skirts, no low-cut tops, no underwear sticking out of shorts, etc. • If dress code is not followed, you will receive a demerit and be asked to change into your athletic uniform or you will be sent to the Assistant Principal’s office to call home.
