: : : : Photo: About The Teacher Label: About The Teacher September 2011 Dear Junior High Parents, For those of you that don't know me, my name is Susan Clark. This is my 5th year teaching Junior High Spanish at Saint James Academy,and my twelfth year at the school. I have two children who attended SJA from K-8th and they are both currently enrolled at Cathedral Catholic High School. The students will have Spanish on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. As a former student, I can appreciate the challenges and excitement of learning a foreign language. My high school Spanish teacher once made a point of impressing upon our class that knowing Spanish would be a valuable asset in the future. Fortunately, I developed an aptitude and love for the Spanish language and continued my studies throughout college. I graduated with a degree in Spanish from Gonzaga University. In this new millinneium, Spanish is quickly becoming a necessary tool that our children will need for future success. I'm hopeful that my time as a student living in Spain, in addition to my years of experience as a bilingual health educator, and teacher, will be assets to your children. The text and workbook that we use is entitled Paso a Paso by Prentice Hall publishers. In addition to these books, we will also be using bilingual materials published by Scholastic News. Students will have frequent exposure to reading, writing, and conversation in the classroom. The ENLACES/Links section of my website has been updated to include flashcards,games and quizzes,to help reinforce material that has been taught in the classroom. It will be imperative that students check the website for homework,quizzes and tests. (refer to the icon /backpack "la tarea"). Since there are only an average of fifteen grades accumulated per quarter, it's important that everyone completes assignments on time. Late assignments will not be accepted. The following breakdown will apply to grades: Homework 25%, Classwork 10%, Quizzes 25% and Tests 40%. These grades will be weighed equally with other subjects in considering a student's qualification for Honor Roll. I look forward to working with your children and sharing my love of the language and culture with them. Sincerely, Susan Clark Mission Label: Mission Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions? Password: Forgot your password?
