PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ASSIGNMENTS ARE WRITTEN IN THE CALENDAR ACCORDING TO WHEN ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE. GENERAL INFORMATION IS ON THE BULLETIN BOARD AS AN OVERVIEW. Please see Google classroom for specific information for each class which is updated every week. From enrichment (grades P4 to 3rd grade) to 4th thru 8th grade all classes are learning to speak, understand, write and read Spanish. Also, all students can review & have extra practice by going to the website QUIZLET.COM. Groups have been set up to help you find current flashcards for your grade level or for review. (quizlet.com IC-SraL) . Any questions on Quizlet.com or about Spanish class, please contact me through FastDirect or through Leyhane@ICCowboys.net. I will respond to your communication as soon as possible usually within a school day.
Some useful information..... ... Students cannot talk during a test/quiz even if he/she has turned in quiz or test. All students need silence to complete their test regardless of how much time they take. Everyone must be able to concentrate. Consequences depending on the circumstances will be a zero on test or quiz and a detention.
Additionally, the use of online translators is easy to spot and will be considered cheating. The assignment will result in a grade of zero (0) for that work.
Phones are not allowed on in school. All phones are collected until the end of the day when the students can take them home. They are not allowed to be on in school. Students must turn them on outside our building. Thank you.

Goal: Students will understand and communicate in Spanish through listening, reading, writing, and speaking. All classes will begin or continue their study of Spanish I. We will cover as much of Spanish I as possible by the time students graduate. Typically, classes cover about three quarters of a high school Spanish I class. Many students do place in Honors Spanish I, Spanish II and some in Honors Spanish II. Regardless of the school, the students who take Spanish or any other foreign language in high school typically do well in their first year and second year.
Tests & Quizzes: In 6th through 8th grades quizzes are usually on Thursdays or Fridays every two or three weeks since we do not have class every day. 5th grade and 4th grade would have quizzes on Tuesdays.
Grades are broken down into 5 categories: Speaking (25%), Listening/Comprehension (25%), Writing (20%), Reading/Comprehension (20%), and Class Effort(10%). For more information see attachment.
Homework: If there is no written assignment, the homework is to review the material. When Homework is assigned it is due at the beginning of class. Otherwise it is late.
