Señora Bryant
La sala 1407
Lebanon High School

2. Sra. Bryant’s Recipe for success:
Arrive to class on time, alert and prepared
Raise hand often to participate and ask questions
Do homework every night to the best of my ability
Study vocabulary at least minutes each day
Study 1-2 hours before a quiz or test
Ask for extra help when necessary

3. Materials you will need:
3-ring binder
Five dividers
Paper
Pens and Pencils
Colored pencils/markers

4. Grade System Example: 400/500=.80=80% Grading Scale:
Total Points earned/total possible points = grade average
Example: 400/500=.80=80%
Grading Scale: A B C D
0-64 F

5. Participation
Each time a student raises his or her hand and answers correctly in Spanish, he/she will receive one participation point.
Every few weeks each student’s points are added together and converted to a grade based on the class average for participation.
Grades reflect the students’ frequency and ability to speak Spanish in class.

6. The dreaded “Págame” “Págame” a.k.a. “pay me” one participation pt.
Given as a consequence for speaking out in English without permission, being off-task or disrupting class.

7. Why is it so important for us to speak only Spanish in class?
When you were a baby and first learned English, did your mommy speak to you in Japanese?
Your brain naturally follows the path of least resistance and will not hear Spanish if English is also floating around the classroom.
Spanish is Super Cool!!!

8. Tarea Homework Tarea
Homework assignments are checked or collected at the beginning of class each day.
No late homework will be accepted (even if it is finished and in your locker).
Repeated failure to turn in homework assignments may result in a detention.

9. What to do if you are absent…
Check Señora Bryant’s website for homework and assignments. There is 1:1 ratio for make up days. Therefore, if you missed one day, all work must be turned in one day after you return.
Ask Señora Bryant for any handouts.
Copy any notes from when you were absent.
Schedule an appointment to make up any tests or quizzes. Once the allotted number of days have passed, you will receive a zero for the test or quiz.
Make up work is your personal responsibility!

10. ¡Bien hecho!
When you do a good job in Spanish class you could receive:
Warrior rewards
Positive phone calls or s home
Extra participation points
