  1. Table of Contents

  2. At the Beginning of Class • You line up at the door along the lockers. You wait patiently and quietly until I welcome you at the door and tell you to come in. • When you come in, your voice level is at 0. Un-stack chairs (if applicable) and make sure that every table has a chair. • Write in your planner the day’s agenda, homework and start the Para Empezaron the board in your notebook.

  3. Para Empezar • Para Empezar are warm ups of the class. All students will required to keep their notes in warm ups in a notebook. They will be graded 3 times a quarter. Keeping your warm ups notes will help you keep track of the class and can be used on the final assessment.

  4. At the End of Class • All materials that were used for the day are put away in the appropriate place in the room. • Tables are put back in their original place and chairs push in. • All papers, trash etc… make it to the garbage and recycle receptors. • Stack chairs (if applicable).

  5. Class Set Up • There are 30 desks that set up as reflecting “E”s . You will notice that there are tape on the floors, cords, and desks. DO NOT REMOVE, MOVE etc… THE TAPE! It keeps the classroom accessible for everyone. • The LCD projector and anything place upon it is OFF LIMITS. Don’t touch it (it can led to a referral) • There is also a student table, homework tower, pencil sharpener, calendar, and material towers.

  6. Materials • You are required to bring the following daily: • Pencil • Notebook for this class only • A pocket folder for this class only • A whiteboard marker • Planner • Other materials upon request

  7. Class Rules: The MANN 5

  8. Grades Tests/Projects Quizzes Class work/ Homework Participation • Grades will be posted once a week. You may check them during the following: • During grade check time • After you completed the Warm Up • As you leave the classroom. • You can find out your grades by: • Back of the room by the door. • Student Connect on Zangle • Coming in on your time to ask…not class time.

  9. Tests/Projects • Projects can be anything that helps you compare what you are learning in class to the outside world. Some examples are: family tree, cultural reports, creating your language. • Tests are cumulative assessments. You will have tests mid quarter and at the end. Tests will vary from acting out sentences, to writing. • Expectations during Quiz/Test

  10. Expectations During Tests/Quizzes • Voice Level is at ZERO during the entire time. NO TALKING! • There is no looking on other peoples’ paper. • That you cover your answers so no one can cheat off of you. • When you are done, turn over your paper and draw a cool Halloween picture. • If you are caught not following the rules: • You receive a ZERO • I rip up your paper • You call your parents in the middle of class. • Possible referral.

  11. Quizzes • Quizzes are usually unannounced. The reason that will not announce a quiz is that cramming for a quiz the night before does not produce long term memory. Since I want you to know all of the material at all times, quizzes can include all of the material we have learned, not just the current vocabulary list or topic.

  12. Homework/Class work • Typically I assign homework once a week. Unless otherwise stated, homework will be due two days later. (Example: Homework was assigned Monday it will be due Wednesday) Homework is practice, not a test. Even if you aren’t sure you’re doing right…do it! You earn credit for having homework assignments done to the best of your ability and on time. Points will be taken off for late work. • You turn in assignments into the Homework Tower. DO NOT TURN ANYTHING IN ON MY DESK!

  13. Participation: • Remember the 2 Rules: • Act engaged. • What are some examples? • Answer Spanish questions in Spanish. • Or raise your hand if you need to speak English • All students begin with a 100-point nine-week participation grade.

  14. Págames (Pay me) • Rule violations cause a student to lose 5 points. • This is your Págame • When you have a violation I will tell you, “Pagame”. And keep track of it on a sheet. • You can make up the points! 

  15. Makeups • Students get 4 free makeups • First 2 are made up by making me a card. • The card can say anything and be in English or Spanish. • Write something nice about the class, or me. • The second makeup is by giving me a handshake. • After the four free ones, students make up págames by writing 100-word essays in Spanish. Each essay makes up one págame. • Maximum two págames per day. On the 3rdpágame, the student can get a referral, go to the office or/and sits in the hall.

  16. The “Day Off” • Students are able to take a “day off” and work on homework etc… • This costs 2 págames for the first day off and the following for each subsequent day off: • 2nd day off: 3 págames • 3rd day off: 4 págames • 4th day off: 5 págames • 5th day off: 6 págames • 6th day off: 7 págames • 7th day off: 8 págames • 8th day off: 9 págames • YOU MUST NOTIFY ME AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS & YOU MUST HAVE A “B” OR BETTER!

  17. Late Work Policy: • Any work received after the due date is considered late work. • Exceptions: • If you were absent the day it was due, and were here when it was assigned, then you must turn it in the first day you are back in class. If it is not turn in at that time then it is late. • If you are absent for a several days, then you will have a reasonable amount of timeto turn your work. 1 to 1 ½ weeks NOT 3 weeks! • Any late work will receive 80% credit of their score. Example: Your homework score was 10/10 (100%) x .80= 80%.

  18. Redo Policy • If you have a 79% or lower on any homework, quiz or test, you can retake it. • If you want to retake a quiz or test I require that you set up a time with me to come in and go over the quiz/test so we can see how you can do better. • There will date posted when I will no longer accept any retakes or missing work. It will be your responsibility to keep track of your grade and missing assignments. • Times for coming in and redoing or making up work will be posted weekly on the class’ “Sign Up” clipboard by the door. It will be the students’ responsibility to sign up.

  19. Missing Work Policy: • If you have an excused absence: • You have that many days that you were absent for to make up that work and turn it in. Example: Sally was absent for two school days. Thus Sally has two school days to get work made up. • If you have an unexcused absence: • You can turn in any work and make-up tests but any work turned in will be considered late.

  20. Extra Credit Policy • Typically the only extra credit that I give is a bonus question on a test of quiz. But for whatever reason wants/needs to bring up their grade (letter or citizenship), one can bring in following: • 1 box of Kleenex • 1 box of pencils • 1 package of lined paper • 1 box of colored pencils/markers • 1 box of whiteboard markers • 5 days of the weekday comics of the Gazette.

  21. Help Sign Up • Help Sign Up gives you the opportunity to come in for help, make up work etc. Since I can’t keep track of 150 students and their schedules, the sign up let’s me know that I need to be somewhere. • TIPS: • Make sure you check the schedule first to see if I’m available. • If you sign up don’t forget. Students who sign up and forget to come in will get a referral. • If you are signing up to come in before or after school, make sure your ride knows.
