small medium large Friday, November 21st, 2008 Queridos Amigos, First of all NETC, our educational travel company, would like to have everyone who plans to go on the Peru 2009 trip registered before the winter holidays. - You may enroll on-line. (See information below from my last posting.) I have been told that, as the leader, I do not need to sign the registration/enrollment form. I've had some questions come up again about the * in a grade slot when viewing "Family Access." The * represents a low/deleted grade for which the student earned a "dump." It has no value whatsoever. - I really do appreciate both parents and students checking grades on a regular basis. This has been a tremendous tool in helping students keep up their grades. Spanish students understand, very early, that late work is never accepted - unless, of course, there has been an absence. A zero is entered in the gradebook until work is completed from an absence. Students may order a Spanish Club T-shirt for $10.00. We have a choice of royal blue or red. There is a picture of the shirt in each color on the announcement bulletin board in the classroom. I'd like to have all orders by December 19th. A check should be made out to "CMS." Put Spanish Club shirt in the memo line. We are saving soda can tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald houses. Please consider saving them over the holidays. Bring them to the Spanish room. Spanish Club and Spanish students have an opportunity to spend a couple of hours at the Kimbell Art Museum, in Fort Worth, on Monday, December 29th viewing the works of Spanish artists. We will meet by the gift store at 2:00 P.M. The whole family is invited to join us. Students do need to sign up so that I will be able to inform the Kimbell of the number of visitors we will have. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break! ¡Nos vemos el primero de diciembre! Sra. Robinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Peru 2009 Trip For those of you who are interested in joining the Peru 2009 Adventure - June 15-23, 2009 here is the website for NETC. Trip and enrollment information is available. www.educationaltravel.com Once there, see the upper right hand corner to login. Username: peru09 Password: dragons Please know that you may come in any time to see the trip DVD and learn more about the Amazon Eco Park Lodge. Please e-mail me (robinsok@cisdmail.com) to make an appt. for a meeting. Thanks! KAR _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Monday, November 17, 2008 ¡Buenos Días! Come and celebrate "Fine Arts Night" at CMS tomorrow night from 5:00-8:00. Please call the front office (817-949-5400) for more information and to purchase meal tickets. - Look for the Spanish Club baskets in the Silent Auction. Speaking of the arts - the Spanish Club is planning on meeting at the Kimbell Art Museum on Monday afternoon, December 29th, at 2:00 P.M. Students need to make reservations for this event by signing up in the Spanish room. Today is the first day of the 3rd 6-weeks. Students will receive their report cards on Friday. Students are invited to stay after school on Friday, November 21st, to help decorate the classroom for "La Navidad." Returning from Thanksgiving vacation we will all be welcomed back to a room decorated in poinsettias,"la flor de la Noche Buena" and greetings of "esperanza, paz, alegría, y amor." We have a full week off for Thanksgiving break. Students will return to class on December 1st. Once again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of students being in class as we increase our grammar and verb study in Spanish. In case of absence, please make sure that you are viewing the "Deberes" section of this website and "Family Access" to know what has been missed. That's it for this week. Sorry for the delay in sending out this week's message. ¡Hasta luego! Sra. Rbinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, November 11, 2008 Todos- Finally, after four years of frustration in working with the textbook folks, I have a teacher access code to get to the on-line textbook and all the videos and listening exercises. I am creating separate groups or classes that will each have their own access code. Students will have all the information on an instruction sheet tomorrow in order to register to have their textbook on-line. Enjoy! Sra. Robinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Friday, November 7, 2008 ¡Buenas tardes! We are really "in the thick of things" in Spanish these days. It's all about subject pronouns and conjugating verbs. Attendance has been quite good, thankfully! Any students absent from class should probably plan on attending tutorials. We will have our last major test of this six-weeks on Wednesday, November 12th. The 2nd 6-weeks ends next Friday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last information meetings for summer language experience and travel are: Pro Lengua / Costa Rica trip, June 14th - 28th, 2009 : Cristina's Restaurant in Trophy Club on Saturday, November 8th at 11:00 A.M. Perú 2009 (Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Amazon), June 15-23rd, 2009 : CMS-E104, Monday, November 10, 2009 at 4:00 P.M. Attention!!!! NETC would like us to have all of our Peru adventurers registered before Winter Break so that we may begin final planning with the participants. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¡Es todo para esta semana! ¡Ojalá que todos tengan un fin de semana magnífico! (Translating this will earn the student 2 "pesetas." Sra. Robinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Friday, October 31st Additional notes: 1.)There has been so much added interest in the two Latin American trips that additional information sessions have been scheduled. Here they are: Costa Rica - Information meeting at Cristina's restaurant (Trophy Club)on Saturday, Nov. 8th at 11:00 A.M. - I have enrollment forms and information sheets in the Spanish room. Peru 2009 - Monday, November 10th at 4:00 P.M. in room E104. You may call e- mail me anytime with questions or requesting forms. robinsok@cisdmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.)I have adjusted my lesson plans for today and Monday and Tuesday of next week. We are doing some fairly critical grammar work right now and I wanted to make sure that it had enough attention. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.)Spanish Club pictures next Thursday. Wear a brightly colored shirt!! Thanks for reading!! KAR _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ jueves, el 30 de octubre de 2008 ¡Hola Amigos! What gorgeous weather we are having! Unfortunately, with the ups and downs in temperatures, the students start suffering from colds and flu. In the event of an absence please check the "Deberes' section of this web-site for lesson plans and homework assignments. Also, check the "Family Access" on Skyward to learn of missed graded assignments, quizzes and test. Progress reports were handed out in Dragon Den yesterday. Students should be sharing those grades with their parents. Students will have an opportunity to earn extra "pesetas" when I do a book, organized notebook and supply check on Friday, November 21st. Please review the information on supplies and notebook order in the FAQ section of this web-site. Students must be present, in their class, on that day to earn the extra "pesetas." Congratulations to the 8th grade football and volleyball teams for a very successful season! I very much enjoyed seeing some of their games and look forward to watching some exciting basketball games. Go Dragons! Enjoy a wonderful weekend! ¡Nos vemos! Sra. Robinson P.S. A signed parent note saying that they have recently viewed their student's grades on the progress report or Family Access will earn the student five (5) pesetas. _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ viernes, el 24 de octubre de 2008 ¡Buenas Tardes! Today marks the end of the 3rd week of the 2nd 6-weeks. I will post grades for these first six weeks, as all grades are complete. Students earning less than an 80 average will be given an individual progress report on Tuesday to be signed and returned by Thursday. All students will receive progress reports in Dragon Den on Wednesday. It's that time of the year when I like to remind parents and students of the requirements for success with a foreign language. Let me list the most important ones. 1.) Class attendance. You may view the CISD calendar posted on the CISD web- site or my calendar posted on this web-site to be reminded of vacation days. 2.) Class participation and attentiveness. 3.) Good study habits and completing all homework assignments and practice. 4.) Attending tutorials as needed. I have tutorials every morning except when I have a meeting. The last information meeting for the Peru 2009 trip will be on Monday, October 27th in E104 at 4:00 P.M. NETC, our educational travel company, (that CISD has used for the last seven years) has sent an excellent travel video of the trip (Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchua and the Amazon) as experienced by one of their groups. I will have written information, brochures, a price sheet and enrollment forms. Students may earn a homework "dump," for this cultural study. That's it for this week. Enjoy a fantastic Homecoming weekend. Go Dragons! Sra. Robinson P.S. A parent note or a signature on a printed copy of this letter will earn the student 3 pesetas. _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Friday, October 17, 2008 ¡Buen Día! There will be an information meeting on the Peru 2009 trip in my room for the next two Monday afternoons at 4:00 P.M. NETC, our educational travel company, (that CISD has used for the last seven years) has sent an excellent travel video of the trip (Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchua and the Amazon) as experienced by one of their groups. I will have written information, brochures, a price sheet and enrollment forms. Students may earn a homework "dump," for this cultural study. Students may also pick up information and enrollment papers for the Costa Rica study program. We're getting into more challenging grammar concepts now in our study of Spanish. The students are meeting this challenge very well. It is very important that they be here every day. Every day is a learning experience and they will probably be missing a major lesson as well as a grade should they be absent. Our two major test dates in this six weeks are Wednesday, October 22nd and Wednesday, November 12th. Thanks for reading. ¡Hasta la semana que viene! Sra. Robinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Monday, October 13, 2008 ¡Buenas tardes! I was hoping to enter a couple of grades today - namely your map and last vocab. quiz grades. Unfortunately, "Skyward" (the computer gradebook)is down for maintenance today. You will receive those grades in class tomorrow. I should be able to post them to the computer gradebook when I get to school in the morning. ¡Lo siento mucho! Sra. Robinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Wednesday, October 8, 2008 ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? There are nine (9) spots available for the Peru 2009 trip. Students and parents are welcome to attend an information seminars on October 20th or 27th at 4:00 P.M. in room E104. Immediately following this newsletter you will find "COSTA RICA 2009 - LenguaPro" information posted. I tried to post the registration forms in this letter but I was unable to do so. I do have forms available in my room. Mr. Heil, one of the other teachers on the CMS faculty, is very knowledgeable about this trip as his parents have accompanied students from our area for several years. I would recommend talking to him or calling, his folks, (Randy & Mary Teel) - phone number listed below. IMPORTANT!! - I have posted several grades (daily/homework) for this new six weeks on Family/Student Access. I will not post grades for the Spain maps or "Quiero recordar a . . ." until all have been graded. Expect to see those grades next Tuesday. You may see a "*" where those grades will be listed. Report cards will be distributed during Dragon Den on Friday. All lesson plans/homework/tests etc., for this 6-weeks, have been posted to "Deberes." Thank you so much for reading!! Sra. Robinson (a parent-signed copy of this letter or a note saying that a parent has read this newsletter, will earn the student 5 "pesetas.") _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ COSTA RICA 2009 - LenguaPro Please see below details on the Costa Rica Study program for June 14-28, 2009.

Contacts: Mary Teel 817 929 - 3505 Randy Teel 817 929 – 3207 8600 Gardenia Denton, Tx. 76207 Page 4 – Student Program 2009 Credit card payments are accepted in full or installments. Costa Rica has the same electric outlet plugs and current as the U.S., so your curling irons, hair dryers, etc. plug in without the need for additional adapters and work just fine. You’ll need a Passport. Get the application in early. The new law requiring a passport to go to Canada and Mexcio has created a lot of delays. No visa is required. All transportation in Costa Rica will be on an air-conditioned luxury motor coach bus. Bring your cameras, binoculars, umbrella and/or slicker. ATM’s are readily available. Dollars are widely accepted although the local currency, the “Colon”, brings around 515 colones to $1. Lots of bargains. Don’t bring $100 or $50 bills. Use debit cards, credit cards or traveler’s checks. Latin America has been inundated with counter-fit $100 bills. The banks are more likely to confiscate them for inspection. Smaller bills are more advisable. Communications: ATT&T Cingular cell service works. Verizon does not. Phone cards are cheap and prove to be the best way to make long distance calls. Internet service will be available at the School. Insurance and health concerns: You may advise your insurance company that you are going to Costa Rica and that you want to be covered in case of an emergency. Make sure that you have an emergency medical air flight service addendum that will care-flight you back to the U.S. in the event of an emergency. Bring your insurance cards. There are good clinics and hospitals there. Over 30,000 Americans live in Costa Rica. You may want to purchase traveler’s health insurance that can be used in Costa Rica. You can check out these or others at www.previnta-mb.com or leesquinca@mobility.benefits.com. None of our students have ever needed or purchased these. A typical doctor’s visit for a throat infection together with medicine will run around $100. First meeting Saturday, September 20 at 11:00am. Cristina’s Mexican Restaurant in Trophy Club. Take the Trophy Club exit off of Hwy. 114. The restaurant is on the North side of 114 facing South. _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Friday, October 3, 2008 Queridos Amigos - Gosh, I can't believe that we are already at the end of the first 6-weeks. Report cards will be distributed during Dragon Den next Friday afternoon. The Spanish Club activities and events have been scheduled for the remainder of the year. Please check the "Club de Español" page on this website for all the information. We will have our first official and organizational meeting next Tuesday during Dragon Den. Members will be given a list of events at that time. I should be receiving the details on the Costa Rica Summer Program next week and will post it here. This is a program designed for students (ages 13-18) wishing to increase their Spanish language usage in an "immersion" type program. It is a two-week experience, with the possibility of adding a third week. Most likely it will begin on June 15, 2009. It looked as though there were only four (4) openings for the Peru trip for June 15th, 2009. As 5 people, apparently declined to register, there are actually nine openings. - If you are interested in this trip, there will be two information meetings this month: Monday, October 20th at 4:00 P.M. and Monday, October 27th at 4:00 P.M. in E104. Students may earn a homework "dump" grade this new 6-weeks by either contributing an item for our Spanish Club basket for "Fine Arts Night" or by attending a Peru 2009 information meeting. Es todo para esta semana. ¡Adiós! Sra. Robinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Thursday, September 25, 2008 ¿Qué tal? ¿Cómo están todos? Today we have been practicing "gustar" phrases and also preparing for our "replacement" quiz. That quiz will be tomorrow. Students will be required to write the answers to twelve conversational questions. We will have our 2nd and last major test next Tuesday. The test will be over "Capítulo 1A." Look for review information in the "Deberes" section of this website. We need to add a bit of grammar tomorrow to finish the chapter. We will have a comprehensive review, with listening practice, on Monday. As of today, I will be available for Spanish tutorials in Extended Day on Thursdays. Extended Day is a place for study, tutorials and testing. All students are welcome to come on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Extended Day is in the library from 3:50 - 4:50. Students who are testing will be excused when they finish their tests. Study and tutorial students are expected to be there for the full hour. Please continue checking "Family Access / Student Access" to keep up with grades. Students have all papers, except tests, returned to them. If they are keeping an organized notebook, parents should be able to view student work and compare it to their grades. I ask the students to check their grades regularly to make sure that the posting is accurate. The Spanish Club times have finally been set for Dragon Den. See "Club de Español" for dates and activities. Thanks for reading! ¡Hasta la semana que viene! Sra. Robinson _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ ¡¡Atención, por favor!!

First of all let me thank the parents who attended Curriculum Night at CMS. It was wonderful to see familiar faces and to meet new parents. I always enjoy the opportunity to meet my students' parents. I very much appreciate the parental support. Progress reports are going out today. Please ask your child for his/her progress report sheet. They are being distributed in Dragon Den this afternoon. Normally, any student achieving less than a 75% in a class will receive an individual progress report. I will issue a detailed individual report with any grade under 80%. Keep checking "Family Access / Student Access" for updates on student grades in all courses. See Traci Bass in our front office if you are not yet connected to that on-line service. The 2nd and last test for this 6-weeks will be on Tuesday, September 30th. I will offer a vocabulary "replacement quiz" next Friday. It will replace the lowest quiz grade of this 6-weeks. If it is the lowest grade, it will not be used. ¡Hasta luego! Sra. Robinson Any student who can give me a Spanish weather report from a Latin American city in the southern hemisphere - on Monday - will receive 3 "pesetas." _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Thursday, September 11, 2008 ¡Buenos Días! I hope that everyone is having a great week! Tomorrow will mark the end of the first three weeks of Spanish I and we will be having a test over textbook pages 1-15. That test will be worth 50% of the grade average. You will remember that daily grades are 25%, quizzes 25% and tests 50%. There will be one more test the last week of this 6-weeks. Progress reports will be sent out next Tuesday. We are required to send an individual report for any grade average lower than 75. I normally send individual reports for grade averages less than 80, as Spanish I grades become a part of the H.S. GPA. All students should receive a sheet telling of the grades in each class. Don't forget about Curriculum Night on Wednesday, September 17th from 6:00- 7:30! I hope to see many of you there! ¡Hasta la semana que viene! Sra. Robinson Any student who can show me(when he/she comes to class on Monday)that Spanish assignments for this next week are recorded in an agenda will receive 3 pesetas. _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Thursday, September 4, 2008 ¡Hola! I am very much enjoying getting to know my new 8th grade Spanish students. We've been working pretty hard for two weeks now. We have had five (5) daily grades and, with today's quiz, two (2) quiz grades. Our first test will be next Friday, September 12th. As my daughter is getting married the next day, please do not expect the tests returned until Tuesday or Wednesday of the next week. Please forgive me. "Family Access / Student Access" is up and running. Please check grades, on a regular basis, to make sure that they have been posted correctly. Missing grades, for absences or whatever, are recorded as "0" until the work is completed. This is true for tests and quizzes, as well. Correction: I misread the Discovery Channel's schedule. The episode that I wanted the kids to see was actually last Monday night. I will let you know when there is a rerun of that episode. Nevertheless, you all may want to check out the new program, "Into the Unknown with Josh Bernstein," which airs on Monday nights at 9:00 on the Discovery Channel. No correction on the trip to Peru. I will have information on that trip for you on Curriculum Night. You will find all lesson plans and daily assignments on the "Deberes" page. I keep all of the plans for each week of the current 6-weeks on that page until the end of the grading period. Please go there for information if a student is absent. Scroll down. The most recent week is posted at the bottom. That's about it for this week. ¡Hasta luego! Sra. Robinson (A print-out of this letter, with a parent signature, will earn the student 2 "pesetas." _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Two HUGE annoucements!!!! Did y'all know that you are invited to travel with Sr. & Sra. Robinson to Peru on June 15, 2009? See Sra. Robinson for more information. Josh Bernstein is back on T.V.!! He will be presenting an episode on the "Cloud Warriors" of Peru on Monday, September 8th at 9:00 P.M. on the Discovery Channel. - Next summer's trip to Peru was designed on his earlier "Digging for the Truth" (History Channel) adventures to Peru. _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Carroll Middle School August 25, 2008 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
