The First Days...

All Spanish students will learn & practice the following before we dive into our subject material for the year:

• Classroom Procedures & Routines such as turning in work, entering class, beginning class, filling out agendas, heading papers, etc.
• Where to locate certain items in my classroom such as the academic calendar, Spanish-English dictionaries, class objectives, props, etc.
• Classroom Rules & Expectations
1. Listen to & follow directions the first time they are given.
2. Respect everyone with your actions & words.
3. Raise your hand before speaking & before leaving your seat.
4. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
5. Come to class prepared & ready to learn.
• Consequences, both positive (RIM, classroom trophy, academic shout-outs) & negative (warning, Passport signature, MIR, referral)
• How to use our class blog

Students will also organize their Spanish binder, receive a textbook, and choose a Spanish name for the year.
Three cheers for starting the school year successfully!
