COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Spanish A&B Class will prepare students for effectiveness life situations 
such as shopping, traveling, obtaining services and repairs, and to be able 
to verbally communicate their basic feelings, needs and desires.
The Spanish A Class is offered to students with no previous knowledge of the 
language.
We will be emphasizing the development of speaking, listening, reading and 
writing skills.
The Spanish B Class is designed for students who have completed Spanish 1A, 
so they can continue developing their skills through more complex vocabulary 
and grammar concepts.
A large portion of their grade will be based on Class Participation and 
Homework.  Students will have the opportunity to use and practice the 
language throughout various activities, as well as to memorize God’s Word in 
Spanish.
One of my goals is to help our students learn to lead someone to Christ in 
Spanish. In addition to the curriculum content we will include learning 
Scripture and a variety of extra curricular activities.
Students will need a binder or a section aside for Spanish in one of their 
binders. 5 Tabs are required to be labeled as follows: VOCABULARIO 
(Vocabulary), TAREA (Homework), CULTURA (culture), GEOGRAFIA (Geography) and 
EXAMENES (Quizzes/Tests). A Spanish/English dictionary is recommended, mostly 
to be used at home. A Bible in Spanish will be needed once a month for CLUB 
DE BIBLIA (Bible Club) a Bible Application is also acceptable since we will 
be using cell phones for a short period of class time and text greetings and 
short conversations in Spanish (NEW)

B+ = 87 	B = 84 	 	B- = 80 
C+ = 77 	C = 74 		C- = 70 
D+ = 67 	D = 64 		D- = 60
F    = 59

Special assignments will be graded with a higher percentage. Class 
participation and homework are essential elements in learning a foreign 
language because they put grammatical principles into practice.

HOMEWORK

All Spanish homework and news will be available at 
http://teacherweb.com/CA/LosAltosChristianSchool/Spanish/h0.aspx

I will not accept late homework. Students will have plenty of time to 
complete homework. (full week) Assignments will be given on Mondays and 
should be turned in the assigned date (following Monday). I expect all 
homework to be neat and clear. Illegible homework will be returned to you and 
you will have to resubmit it if you want credit for the work. Legible 
handwriting and correct spelling are important. A few letters in a word can 
change person, gender, tense, or number. On all of your assignments write 
your name, date, and the class in the upper right corner.  Homework without 
name will have 10% deducted from the grade. Keep all your graded homework for 
at least a quarter. It will not only serve as an excellent tool when you are 
studying for exams, but it will also give you proof that you completed the 
assignment should there ever be an error in your grade.

QUIZES/TESTS
You will have a vocabulary quiz every other week on Fridays, during the first 
ten minutes of class. If you are tardy, you will not have extra time to take 
the quiz. It is your responsibility to come to class on time.

CLASS GUIDELINES

Respect:   You must be respectful to your classmates and your teacher. I will 
not tolerate defiant behavior or students who make fun of others, or prevent 
other students from learning by being disruptive. I will respect you and 
treat you with dignity.
Courtesy:   Only one person may speak at a time. If I am talking or if 
another student is asking a question, I expect you to listen.
Punctuality:   You are expected to be in your seat by the time class is 
scheduled to begin.

CONSEQUENCES IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES

1.Written Notice to School Office 
2.Student/Teacher conference			
3.Sent to School Office
4.Call Home
5.Suspension

Note: Any serious acts of disobedience may get a student an immediate 
referral to the Office and possible dismissal from class.
