Friday, December 18th, 2009 ¡Hola! We made it! I can't believe that we are on the brink of Winter Holidays Break! The first week after we come back from the break we will work through Capítulo 3B. That will be the last unit of study to be included in the 1st semester exam. Students will be given a packet of review work on Thursday of that week to be gone over in class on Monday and Tuesday, January 11th and 12th. The exam schedule is listed in the "Deberes" section of this website. I am really, really looking forward to introducing my students to the Kimbell Art Museum. The education dept. of the museum has planned a wonderful tour for us. If you are registered to join us, please meet me at 2:00 P.M. - by the gift store - on Tuesday, December 29th. Have a terrific holiday season with friends and loved ones! ¡Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo! Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Friday, December 11th, 2009 ¡Buenas tardes! I have just a few items for this next week. The Spanish Club cookie plate assembling will be on Monday morning at 8:00A.M. in room E104. Plates of decorated holiday cookies will be given to the GRACE Christmas Cottage. Progress reports, if a student is earning less than 80% in this 3rd 6-weeks in Spanish, will go home for a signature on Wednesday. I will expect them back, with a parent signature no later than Friday, December 18th. Parents may also e-mail me to let me know that they have discussed the grades with the student. - Students failing to bring in a signed progress report will call home. Our second and last major test, over Capítilo 3A, will be on Friday. Should a student be absent on this last day before the winter holiday break, he or she may take the test on Monday morning, January 4th at 8:00 A.M. ¡Hasta la semana que viene! Sra. R ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ¡Atención! The students have asked me to post the address of the Kimbell Art Museum. It is at 3333 Camp Bowie Boulevard, in the Cultural District of Fort Worth. I need to know who is interested in participating in the docent-led tour on Tuesday, December 29th at 2:00 P.M. I promised to give the museum the number of participants by Friday, December 11th - this week! ¡Muchas gracias! ____________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 4 de diciembre de 2009 ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? Here we are at the end of the 2nd week of our 3rd 6-week grading period. The Spanish students are taking the first of two major tests today. The 2nd test will be over Capítulo 3A on December 18th. Should a student be absent on December 18th, I will expect to see him/her in my classroom on Monday, January 4th at 8:00 A.M. to take the test. A couple of Spanish Club events are planned for this month: First of all, any students wishing to earn a "dump" for their lowest daily grade may participate in the cookie bake for December 14th. The Spanish Club is going to donate plates of home-baked holiday/Christmas cookies to GRACE's Christmas Cottage. Students will bring cookies, in a disposable box, to the Spanish classroom on Monday, December 14th at 8:00 A.M. for assembly and decorating of the cookie plates. (GRACE does not have any specifications on types or sizes of cookies. If the cookies are baked using any sort of nutmeats or peanut butter, please label the container box.) I will deliver the plates to the Christmas Cottage after school that day. We are also planning to visit the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth to view the works of the Spanish artists on Tuesday, December 29th. Any interested participants will meet me in the museum gift shop at 2:00 P.M. As the Kimbell will provide a docent for our group, they will need an estimate of participants by Friday, December 11th. There is a "sign-up" sheet on the door of the Spanish classroom. All family members and friends are welcome to join us! Grades for today's test will be posted by late Sunday evening. Have a terrific weekend! Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ jueves, el 19 de noviembre de 2009 ¡Buenas tardes! ¡Ojalá que todos estén muy bien! I'm sorry for not posting last week. In the rush to get ready for FAN and finish the grading for the 2nd six weeks, I missed being able to post a weekly letter. Report cards will come out tomorrow (Friday)for the 2nd 6-weeks. We have already completed 5 grades for this new grading period. Please continue to check "Deberes" for weekly lesson plans and assignments. It is also good to check "Family Access" for grades at least once a week. If a student is absent he/she should definitely be checking both. I will make a trip to GRACE on Monday morning of next week with any of the grocery items, listed below, that the kids have brought in this week. Items needed, on a regular basis, at GRACE include: cooking oil evaporated milk flour (4 lbs.) instant potatoes juice (64 oz.) pancake syrup sugar ( 2 or 4 lbs.) The absolute greatest need at GRACE, right now, is new underwear and socks for children. If your club or association is looking for a project you might want to consider this. Rather than having a Holiday Tea for the teachers, the kids have decided to put a nice plate of cookies in the teachers' lounge on Monday, December 14th. Most of the home-baked cookies, brought in by the Spanish students that morning, will be placed on holiday plates and donated to the GRACE "Christmas Cottage" where families in need will be able to select toys for their children. After choosing toys, parents are given wrapping materials and a special holiday treat - a plate of home-baked cookies. - I will get details from GRACE on the type of cookies they are able to accept. (Cookies with nuts and peanut butter may not be acceptable, for example.) The Spanish Club and PTSO thank you so very much for your generous support of the charitable projects we have had this year. At last report, the PTSO was able to raise $7,500 at Fine Arts Night. With parents' help, the Spanish Club donated four baskets to the Silent Auction that evening. - I've also been happy to be able to make trips to the GRACE Food Pantry every two weeks thanks to the regular food contributions brought in by students. Have a wonderful holiday! At the Thanksgiving time, we all need to remember to be thankful for our many blessings! Sra. Robinson One more very IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! Mr. Miller has requested that we let our parents know that they must be registered with "Family Access" as we will be going "paperless" in the next grading period. You may request a printed copy of the student's grades from his/her guidance counselor. ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 6 de noviembre de 2009 ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? What a gorgeous week we've had! Perhaps the new CMS facility will have windows to be able to enjoy a lovely day?!? Two activities to note next week are the Veterans' Day assembly on Wednesday at 10:15 in the main gym and club pictures on Tuesday. The Spanish Club pictures will be taken at 8:55. Members of Spanish Club should wear either their club shirt or a brightly colored shirt. We want to look our "spicey" best! The main event for this next week is the 2nd and last major test on Wednesday, November 11th. The Veterans' Day assembly will not interfere with the testing. The Spanish Club met this morning. We reviewed "El Día de los Muertos" and talked about up-coming events and activities. We decided that we definitely wanted to keep our "Frijoles" project, benefitting the GRACE Pantry, for the remainder of the school year. GRACE just published a list of what they need for the holidays. There was a special request for items that run low on a regular basis. I am listing those items here. If you discover that you have extra of any of these food items, please send them. I'll probably be making two trips to GRACE before Thanksgiving. cooking oil evaporated milk flour (4 lbs.) instant potatoes juice (64 oz.) pancake syrup sugar ( 2 or 4 lbs.) Thanks for reading. Enjoy this lovely weather and have a wonderful weekend! Go Dragons! Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 30 de octubre de 2009 ¡Buenas tardes! We are finishing the 4th week of the 2nd 6-weeks and your student should have brought home a progress report on Wednesday. If their average, at the end of the first 3 weeks, was less than 80% I sent an individual report with them to be brought back signed. This past week I heard from several individual and family travelers (10 people) that although they were planning on making the trip to the Yucatan this summer they would be unable to do so. Family situations and/or the date were the main reasons they would not be able to go. - I don't believe that there is enough interest to continue with the plan to go to Mexico this summer. Therefore, that trip will be cancelled and we will begin planning for the trip to Argentina and Chile (June of 2011). Our orientation meeting for that trip will be in early February. Our next major unit test will be over Capítulo 2A on Wednesday, November 11th. Es todo para esta semana. ¡Feliz Día de los Muertos! Sra. Robinson One more very IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! Mr. Miller has requested that we let our parents know that they must be registered with "Family Access" as we will be going "paperless" in the next grading period. You may request a printed copy of the student's grades from his/her guidance counselor. ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 23 de octubre de 2009 ¡Hola, Amigos! ¿Cómo están todos! First BIG piece of news - We're going to the Yucatán of Mexico, leaving on June 7th, 2010 and returning on the 16th!!!!! There has been more than enough interest demonstrated toward this trip to make it a sure thing. Please go to www.educationaltravel.com to see all the information about the trip (itinerary, pricing and enrollment procedures). Our username is: mexico2010 and the password is: robinson. I also have enrollment forms in my classroom. On the pricing page, of the NETC website, I have asked that the "payment due by Nov. 1st be changed to Nov. 15th. - Although folks may enroll for the trip after Nov. 15th, I would like to have all travelers enrolled for this trip by January 4th so that we can begin making group plans. Again, all families, friends and students in the CISD are welcome to join us!! Please call me at 817-949-5456 or e-mail me at robinsok@cisdmail.com with any questions. - This is getting exciting and I am very much looking forward to this new adventure in Latin America! Progress reports will go out on Wednesday, October 28th. If the student is missing a major test grade or has an average less than 80% in Spanish, he/she will have an individual progress report as well. We are beginning a new unit today. In this unit we will begin our first work with verb conjugations and we will be learning vocabulary to enable us to carry on conversations related to the classroom. I have a hard-working bunch of Spanish students. I'm amazed at how responsible most of them have become with their school work. For those who have been absent, due to the flu etc., we will get their work taken care of after they are feeling better. I have been shortening and cutting out assignments to get kids back on pace, after an absence. The most important thing is that they be well and fever free before returning to school. Have a great week! A parent-signed note saying that the student has shared this copy of "Anuncios" with their parents is worth 5 "pesetas." ¡Adiós! Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 16 de octubre de 2009 Amigos- Here we are at the end of another wonderful week in the CMS Spanish classroom! I just can't believe how quickly this year is passing! We seem to be getting healthier but I'm still Lysoling once or twice a day to keep the germ count down. I'll remind you that students having experienced an illness must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. The kids and the teachers are all managing reasonably well with makeup work. We will have our first of two major tests next Wednesday over Capítulo 1B. The students have tackled and successfully accomplished most of the work in this current chapter of study. They have realized the kind of effort that needs to be put forth when taking a foreign language. They are appearing much more confident in using the language, as well. The orientation meeting for June's Yucatán trip will be Monday, October 19th, at 4:00 P.M. in room E104. Bring a friend and come and join us! Be bold - wear some pink this weekend!!!! ¡Hasta luego! Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ¡ANUNCIO IMPORTANTE! There is a sign-up sheet on my classroom door for anyone who is interested in coming to the orientation meeting for the "Pathways to Palenque" meeting on Monday, October 19th at 4:00 P.M. Sr. and Sra. Robinson will be leading this trip to the Yucatán of Mexico June 7th-16th of 2010. All friends and families of CMS and the CISD are welcome! Come enjoy some refreshments while viewing a beautiful video of the planned adventure to the "Land of the Mayas." ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ lunes, el 12 de octubre de 2009 ¡Feliz Día de la Raza! SOMETHING NEW!!!!! Go to the "martes, el 13 de octubre, under "Deberes." With the homework assignment, I have included an audio practice. Check it out!! ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 9 de octubre Amigos - We have had some fabulous donations, for GRACE, that have been brought in this week. ¡Muchísimas gracias! I will make a run to GRACE next Wednesday, after school. (Scroll down and you will see the list of most needed items at GRACE for the month of October.) Students will be receiving their report cards today in Dragon Den - followed by team celebrations. URGENT NEED !!!!! Kleenex Every 8th grader was supposed to bring two boxes of tissues with their school supplies. That didn't happen and so we already have a Kleenex shortage. Core teachers are short and the elective teachers each got about 4 boxes from them. Please send any extra boxes that you might happen to have at home! :-) ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** Don't forget the meeting and presentation for our foreign travel program, Monday, October 19th at 4:00 P.M. We will look, in particular, at the trip to the Yucatán of Mexico for early June of 2010. We will view the marvelous DVD (sent by NETC), answer questions and receive the necessary information on pricing and enrollment. - In order to make this trip happen, I need at least 12 travelers ready to enroll by November 4th!! (More travelers may be added later without any problem.) ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** That is it for this week. I have one thing left to say - Go Dragons!!!!! ¡Hasta luego! Sra. Robinson (Any student who shows me that he/she has written next week's assignments in his/her agenda will receive 5 pesetas.) ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, October 6, 2009 Hi! The Spanish Club has an on-going project called "Frijoles" to help keep the shelves stocked at the GRACE Pantry. I promised the parents at Curriculum Night that I would keep everyone updated on the needs at the pantry. Here it is for October: Pasta (spaghetti, elbow and shells) Ketchup Coffee Cooking oil - any size Canned Meats (Tuna, Chili, Beef Stew, Spam etc.) Evaporated milk Instant Potatoes Kool-Aid Pancake mix and syrup Sugar ( 2 or 4 lb. bags) Kids Cereal Laundry Soap (single family size) Salt and Pepper (small) Apples Oranges, Tomatoes Cabbage Lettuce Potatoes Shampoo Deodorant Disposable Razors Toilet paper (4-pack or more) The kids may bring in any of the above at any time. I try to make a GRACE "run" every week or two, depending on what comes in. Thanks so much for your support of this very important community service program. KAR ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 2 de octubre de 2009 ¡Muy Buenas Tardes! Well, it's the end of the 1st six weeks and I'm feeling that the kids have been very successful! The grade averages posted on Family Access will be their grade for the 1st six weeks. Thank you, parents, for spending some quality time with your teenagers and sharing with them about special family members. I have heard some very sweet and wonderful stories from the kids the past couple of days. Our compositions will be displayed in the hallway outside the gym for "Fine Arts Night" on November 17th. (Please see the DT newsletter for information about "FAN.") Several of the students are very interested in educational travel to a Spanish-speaking country. Presently I'm planning two different trips for this next summer. At first I thought that I would have the kids choose between the Yucatán ("Pathways to Palenque") and Central Mexico ("Viva Mexico"). As there appears to be a good amount of interest in both, I believe that I will keep the "Pathways to Palenque" trip on the calendar for the week of June 7th, 2010. I will plan a "Viva México" trip for a week in July. (That area is in the mountains and is such a wonderfully delightful escape from the Texas heat!!) - An orientation meeting for families and friends will be on Monday, October 19th in E104 at 4:00 P.M. If I have at least twelve travelers signed up for the "Pathways to Palenque" trip by November 1st, we will contract our plans with NETC. I need six travelers for the "Viva México" trip to further our plans with NETC. (By the way, NETC will offer us a discount if we get paperwork in within two weeks of our date setting with them.) That's about it for now! Until next week! ¡Hasta luego! Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 25 de septiembre de 2009 Queridos Amigos - I hope that everyone has had a successful week at school and work. Things are progressing nicely in our study of Spanish. We worked on basic Spanish conversation, emphasizing questions and answers about preferences this week. The most major item on the agenda for next week is a unit test, our second and final one, next Tuesday. Next Friday morning we will have a Spanish Club meeting at 8:00 A.M. in E104. This meeting will introduce educational travel experiences to Spanish- speaking countries. I have absolutely fantastic DVD's of the "Pathways to Palenque" (one of the two possible trips to Mexico June 7th, 2010) and the "Argentina and the Falls" (one of the two proposed trips to Argentina for June 6th, 2011). I plan on sharing them with the kids "on the big screen" in my room. I just requested DVD's of the "Viva México" and "Argentina & Chile" trips from NETC. As soon as they arrive, I will set up an after school meeting for parents and students. At this point I'm looking at Monday, October 19th at 4:00 P.M. in my classroom. - In order to continue planning a Mexico trip for June of 2010, I will need commitments from at least 12 adventuring travelers by November 1st. Having seen the two DVD's, I am ready to pack my bags!!!!! - These trips are designed and are appropriate for the whole family. Families, siblings and friends are all invited to participate! I want to place an order for the Spanish Club shirts on Friday, October 2nd. If a student would like to order a shirt, he/she needs to place that order no later than at the Spanish Club meeting on Friday, October 2nd. Shirts come in three colors - jade green, sandía pink or teal blue. They are really cute and cost $13.00. Checks should be made out to CMS with "Spanish Club shirt" written on the memo line. Cash will also be accepted. November 1st and 2nd are known as "Los Días de los Muertos" in Latin America. We are going to begin preparing for this very special Latin holiday by writing compositions about a deceased loved one (family member or friend). This has become one of the favorite annual traditions of this Spanish class and it gives families an opportunity to discuss and celebrate the life of a special loved one. I always write a composition with the kids. In the past I've written compositions about each of my grandparents- my favorite one being about my ski-jumping Norwegian grandfather. - This is a very positive and happy celebration. Parents may want to begin offering ideas to students this weekend. Also, have students find and bring a copy of a picture of this person. I am absolutely loving all of my classes this year! Each day and each hour is "muy divertido." I'm looking forward to many new learning adventures in the coming weeks! Thanks for reading! (Any student who brings a picture of the person about whom they wish to write, by Thursday, October 1st, will receive 10 "pesetas.") ¡Ojalá que todos tengan un buen fin de semana! Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 18 de septiembre de 2009 ¡Hola, Amigos! ¿Cómo están todos? First of all, I'd like to thank the parents for coming to Curriculum Night. Seventy-two of my students had parent representatives on Wednesday night. That is almost a 70% showing! It was so good meeting all of you. I very much appreciate the support for your child and his/her foreign language study. We have two weeks left in this grading period. I sent home individual progress reports for anyone earning less than 80%. I do need those signed and returned no later than Monday. An e-mail response saying that you have received the report, would be just fine. Our second major test, of two, will be on Tuesday, September 29th. We just started our first official chapter of the textbook today, with verb infinitives. We're getting into the real stuff now. I did notice today that several of my students didn't do their homework last night and were unprepared for class. Had I taken a grade today (I gave them "pesetas" depending on the quality of the work instead), they would have failed this assignment. Their success in Spanish really depends on the amount of study and practice done during homework time. Spanish Club shirts will be on sale until September 30th. I will place an order on the 1st of October. They are $13 and come in jade, pink and teal. Sometime next week I will send more information about the proposed travel plans to Latin America. Basically, if there is enough interest (12 people desiring the travel experience)we will go to either the Yucatán of Mexico or into Central Mexico. The proposed date is the week of June 7th, 2010. Thanks for reading! ¡Hasta luego! Sra. Robinson P.S. A parent note saying that they read this newsletter is worth 2 "pesetas." ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ jueves, el 10 de septiembre de 2009 Queridos Amigos - We will be concluding the first three weeks of this grading period with a test over the "Para Empezar" section p. 1-15 of the textbook and pages 1-8 of the workbook. The students will take the test tomorrow in class. Grades will be posted on Family Access by Monday night, September 14th. I'm looking forward to meeting all my students'parents on Wednesday night at Curriculum Night. The event takes place from 6:00- 7:30. I will give a brief description of the "Spanish I" course and expectations. I will also have some information on the possibility of two different trips to Latin America. (My husband and I took four Southlake travelers with us to Peru this last summer. You will be able to see some of the pictures, that Dave took of our trip, on a computer slide show in the classroom.) Progress reports will go out on Thursday, September 17th. Your child will have an individual report should he/she be earning less than 80%. We are starting to experience several absences here at CMS. Should a student be absent, he/she will find all class information in the "Deberes" section of this website. All "Diario" practices are listed there, as well. Grades are posted as a "0" until work, from an absence, in completed. Missed work, when a student is present, will remain posted as a "0" as late work is not otherwise accepted. That's all for this week. ¡Nos vemos en "Curriculum Night"! Gracias - Sra. Robinson ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Friday, September 4th, 2009 ¡Atención, por favor! ¡Buenas noticias! The books and workbooks have arrived and students are receiving them in class today. The books and workbooks are fairly large and heavy. Mrs. Rowlands has arranged for us to have a "classroom set" of the textbooks. Therefore, students may keep their assigned textbook at home, for use there. Please make sure that it is covered, nevertheless. Workbooks must accompany the students to class every day. Please read the letter below, dated September 3rd. Happy Friday!! Sra. R ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ jueves, el 3 de septiembre de 2009 ¡Buenos Días! We're getting into the swing of things now. The grades the first two weeks of school tend to be a bit higher than the usual. Spanish students are finished with the "housekeeping & material managing" assignments and are getting into the real course work. Grades will reflect that from now on. I always send progress reports home for averages less than 80%. Progress reports will go out on September 17th. Parents and students are, of course, encouraged to review grades on "Family Access" regularly. The students are being given a full class period to work on vocabulary lists today. This is the longest vocabulary assignment of the year and it will be given two homework grades. I gave them a break from homework last night so that they could spend the extra time on this assignment tonight. - I do apologize - as they will very rarely have more than 20 minutes of homework. We will have our first test next Friday over the "Para Empezar" section of the book. So far, as kids have needed a textbook, I have copied pages for them. Our new textbooks are in. The accompanying workbooks, however, have not yet arrived. I want you to know that students will have all the materials necessary for test review, regardless of whether or not they have a book or workbook. I am very much enjoying all of my classes. The kids are great! They are a hard working bunch. I'm looking forward to meeting parents on Curriculum Night, September 16th, from 6:00 - 7:30. I will have about 10 minutes, with each group of parents, to answer your questions. Unfortunately, I have a meeting in another location at 7:30 so I will need to leave right at 7:30. (Most questions that you may have, about Spanish class, are addressed in the FAQ section of this website.) I do thank you for reading. Sra. Robinson (A printed and signed copy of this letter - or a parent note - is worth 2 "pesetas." Bring it to me no later than class time on Tuesday, Sept.8th.) ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ jueves, el 27 de agosto ¡Hola, Amigos! What a super first week of school we've had! I love my students. They are delightful and willing to work hard! Next Friday will be our first Spanish Club meeting. It will be at 8:00 A.M. in the Spanish classroom. All Spanish students are invited to join and they may bring friends who are not in a Spanish class. You may wish to visit the "Club de Español" page, of this website, to learn more about that program. As a community service project, the CMS Spanish classes and Spanish Club make canned food contributions to GRACE. Anyone desiring to do so may bring a canned food item to Spanish Club. Speaking of special programs offered to CMS students - Extended Day will begin next Tuesday. It is for students desiring tutorial help in the four core subjects or Spanish as well as for students who would like a quiet place to study or work with friends after school. It is held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons in the CMS library from 3:50 - 4:50. I will actually be in there for each session in September. After September, I will be there on Tuesdays. Curriculum Night is Wednesday night, September 16th. I'm hoping to meet everyone's parents at this happy event. It is our only "open house" of the year. I'll tell you about our curriculum, obviously, and try to answer any questions that you might have. I will also have some information available about travel to Spanish-speaking countries. Any time a student is absent from Spanish class he/she may see the day's activities, "Diarios" and assignments in the "Deberes" section of this web site. Thanks for reading! ¡Hasta la próxima semana! Sra. Robinson (A printed and signed copy of this letter - or a parent note - is worth 2 "pesetas." Bring it to me no later than class time on Monday, August 31st.) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Carroll Middle School August 24, 2009 Dear Spanish Students and Parents, Welcome to a brand new year at CMS our Spanish program! I am really excited to be meeting my new students for the Spanish I course and to see so many returning for new adventures in Spanish Club. Each and every one of the students is the reason I love teaching Spanish! Introducing another language to bright, young minds is an amazingly fulfilling opportunity in education. Foreign language is a very rigorous and challenging study. In order for students to have a rewarding and valuable experience, the high school Spanish department has certain policies to which it adheres in the classrooms. These policies are followed in every H. S. credited foreign language class in the district. The department believes that these policies will give our students the best education in language and in life. The Foreign Language Policies are as follows: Grading Procedure: 25% Quizzes 25% Homework 50% Tests No late work will be accepted. No retakes will be given. No curving will be permitted. Academic dishonesty will result in an automatic “0” and a “U” in conduct, in accordance with the CISD Code of Conduct. IPods, PSPs, Walkmans, cell phones, etc. have no place in the academic arena. They will not be tolerated in the classroom. Personal electronic equipment that is in use during class will be collected and turned over to the front office. The offending student will need to speak with an administrator in order to retrieve his/her personal items. Other classroom rules will be followed and conduct notices and detentions given accordingly. It is hoped that these policies will help instill responsibility and that they will prepare students for their own education as they move on to higher levels. I have addressed most questions (about tutorials, conference times, materials, classroom rules, grading etc.) in the “FAQ” section of my website. Please carefully read over all the information on my website as well as the student handbook. Classroom rules and regulations will be explained in class and will also be posted on the wall as a reminder. What I require, above all other rules, is that you be respectful and considerate of everyone in the classroom. Please feel free to e-mail me with any unanswered questions at : robinsok@cisdmail.com Your first major homework assignment will be to take care of some “housekeeping” tasks. As you and your parents accomplish these items, please initial each and sign the “check off” list at the bottom. This is going to be un año maravilloso!! ¡¡Buena suerte to all!! Sincerely, Sra. Robinson
