Keep up with what your child is doing in class,
when homework is due and when tests are assigned.
The graded tests will be discussed in class in grades 4th to 8th but will not go
home. If you would like to see the paper, please, make an appointment with Mrs.
Morales. This will provide fair treatment to all students in the event that make
ups have to be administered. Re-takes will not be allowed unless extreme
circumstances justify them. In this case, a written excuse by a parent or a
doctor has to accompany the request for the re-take. The score of the re-take
will be averaged with the original test.
If a student is absent, it is the student's responsibility to be prepared for the following class. This include to bring completed homework and to get handouts before class. If a test has been given while the student is absent, a written excuse and request for a make up has to be turned in as soon as in the following class.
Remember, if you want to know how your child is doing in Spanish class, check progress book. Don't forget participation in class is part of their grade. Tests, quizzes and homework grades are posted there for grades 4th to 8th.
Please keep in mind that all students, except
first graders, may take their folder and notes home as long as they bring it
back for class.
Spanish is for a grade, therefore, it helps if they review the material covered
in class at least twice a week.
Repetition is important when learning a language.
For grade 1: No tests are given. They can have some homework.
For grades 2 - 3: Some homework might be given and for third grade at least one test is given a trimester.
For grades 4 -6: There are usually two tests and homework assignments given a trimester. Since we meet only once a week, it will take several weeks before a quiz or a test is given. Most of the grades will start to appear towards the end of the trimester after the students have been able to learn the new vocabulary.
For grades 7 -8: There are usually two to three tests and /or quizzes each trimester as well as a grade for participation and homework assignments. Since we meet only once a week, it will take several weeks before a quiz or a test is given. Most of the grades will start to appear towards the end of the trimester after the students have been able to learn the new material.
* This may vary according to progress.
Our philosophy: Mrs. Morales and Mrs. Sabla are job sharing. Spanish is taught once a week to all students grades 1 - 8. We both appreciate the importance of learning a second language. This is a wonderful opportunity for them and we are happy to be their teachers. Any questions, please feel free to contact us during our working days through email. You may reach Mrs. Morales on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and Mrs. Sabla on Wednesdays.
Thanks, Señora Sabla and Señora Morales
