Discipline Plan

Welcome to Spanish class! I am looking forward to a successful year of Spanish for all of my students. In this classroom we have the opportunity to communicate frequently with our classmates and look beyond our borders to learn new and interesting things about different cultures. In order to create a successful learning environment, I have put together the following guidelines for the students in this classroom.

Objetivos

Here are the objectives we will meet in this class:

1.Conversación: Students will converse in Spanish.

2.Interpretación: Students will interpret written and spoken Spanish.

3.Presentación: Students will present information in Spanish.

1.Hable español en clase: Speak Spanish in class. Whenever possible, speak Spanish in this classroom. Use the signs around the room to help you with things you may need or want during class. Try out these phrases. See what using a little Spanish can get you!
