Spanish 2 – Room 224

My name is Ms. Velasquez; I’m looking forward to be working with you in my class this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at avelasquez@raleighcharterhs.org. Please just give me 24 hours to respond during the working days. I have listed some useful information about our classroom below.

Materials and Supplies

Every day bring a notebook, pencil, and the workbook. You will need to purchase the "Navegando 2" workbook at Quail Ridge Books if you have not already done it. You will be given the textbook. You will also need a binder with pockets for handouts and notebook paper. The use of highlighters will be highly recommended. It is important to be prepared to write notes.

Office Hours

I will be available to meet parents and/or students on Tuesdays and Wednesday, before school (8:10 to 8:30). I am also available at other various times by appointment.

Homework Policy

If your written homework is incomplete at the star of Spanish class, you have 24 hours to produce it for half the credit. All homework assignment counts into consideration in your grade.

Grading Procedure

Grades will be calculated on this basis.

· Preparation (Homework) 20%

· Quizzes 20%

· Lab work 10%

· Classwork 10%

· Test 40%

Effective class participation includes your best effort to speak Spanish whenever possible, being prepared for class, volunteering to support classmates, and keep a safe/neat space.

Make-up work from excused absences will be scheduled and handled on an individual basis. Make-up tests may have a different format from the test given in class on the assigned test day but will cover the same.

Volunteer Opportunities

We always welcome student/parent volunteers in our classroom. We appreciate any time and talent shared with us. Let me know if you are interested. Thank you for your help and support.

· Any honor code violation will result in referral to the Honor Council and administration. Cases will be handled on an individual basis as to credit for the assignment in question.
