Hola y Bienvenidos! To a fun and exciting year of Fourth and Fifth Grade Spanish Class! The following information is a list of guidelines and expectations to help create a happy and successful school year. This sheet should be kept at the beginning of your Spanish binder of folder at all times. It is expected that you come to class prepared with the following supplies. These materials should be brought with you to every class.

Supplies

1. Folder that is used ONLY for Spanish class.

2. Spanish dictionary.

3. 2 black or blue ink pens.

4. Spanish is Fun Book for 5^th grade ONLY.

Homework Policy

Homework is essential when learning a second language; therefore homework will be assigned frequently to continue what you have learned in class. Homework will be written on the board and you are expected to copy the assignment into your agenda book daily. Homework is to be completed for the following class and will be either checked or collected and reviewed. Remember, homework is extremely important so complete your homework on time!

Late Graded Assignment Policy

All graded assignments are to be handed in when DUE. Any assignment not handed in on time, other than when a student is absent due to illness, is considered late.

Midterm & Final Exams

At the end of each quarter, students will take a quarterly exam in each academic subject. These examinations allow for smaller increments of materials for testing and provide for a better understanding of the materials presented. Quarterly exams may be in the form of written tests, projects, or presentations. Each quarterly exam counts as 5% towards the student's yearly average. Collectively, the four quarterly exams equals 20% of the year-end final average in each subject. Retakes on quarterly exams are strictly prohibited.

Grading Policy

All student efforts shall be weighted as a percentage of his/her quarterly grade. The grading distribution for the course is as follows: homework, quizzes, test, and

classwork.

(Grading percentages may be subject to change depending on the projects and assignments given in each marking period.)

Absences

It is YOUR responsibility to obtain the notes for class or classes missed due to absence. If you are absent:

1. On the day of a test, you take the test the day you return.

2. The day before the test, you still take the test as scheduled.

3. Two or more days before a test, it is YOUR responsibility to come to me and reschedule the test.

4. If school is cancelled the day of the test, it will be given the next time the class meets.
