Be an active Participant and a good citizen!
Bring your A game! Every day you should:
Use Spanish!
You cannot become comfortable if you don’t practice. You
will be reading, writing, speaking and listening to Spanish.
It is an expectation that you use the language as much as
possible. Just like a child, you will have to use what you
know to figure out what you don’t know.
Come to class ready to learn!
Be present in class and on time. Come with all materials
and a proactive attitude.
I.

Any resources
Helping and supporting each other in the classroom is
important. Be respectful of your peers, your teacher and
your classroom. Put downs and negativity will not be
tolerated. Technology devices are to be used as a learning
tool.
Take responsibility for your own learning!
You will get out of it what you put into it. Let me know if
you don’t understand or if you need help. Complete your
class assignments and review every night even if you don’t
have homework. Repetition is the key to memorization.
Use your resources.
