Bonjour! I am Mrs. Mendiola, but students also know me as Madame, Madame Mendiola, or simply Mrs. M. I am so excited to have your student in my class, and I can't wait to see how they grow over the next couple of years!
Here are a few things to know about my class:
Students are graded on a points system
In Aspen, you can see how many points each assignment is worth
I offer retake options for tests/quizzes
Student participation is super important! In my class, participation includes:
Daily “Do Now”
Speaking/Listening Activities
Writing/Reading Activities
Duolingo
Duolingo assignments are worth 20 points per week — in other words, they’re very important!
Students have time in class to work on these assignments, so long as they use their time effectively
Students are expected to work on Duolingo at home if needed to ensure completion each week
I care deeply about each and every student, and strive to make class as fun as possible!
Language learning should be an enjoyable experience for all students, so please continue to encourage your child’s learning— you could even ask your child to teach you something they’ve learned in class!
