5. Assessments
We will be doing a combination of projects, tests and orals for assessments. You will have a study guide for each assessment and will be given the oral questions beforehand to prepare. Most of the projects will be independent. Be prepared to put in time outside of class to complete these projects and study.

6. RUIDO
On the whiteboard, you will see the word “ruido”- noise. If your class is misbehaving, your class will lose letters. At the end of the class period, your class will receive points for how many letters your class has left. For example, if your class ends the period with “ido” your class will receive 3 points. Points will be added to the previous days total. The period with the most points at the end of the quarter will win a food (ex. pizza) party.

9. ¿Baño?
If you ever need to go to the bathroom give me a peace sign. I will either nod or shake my head. If I nod, you will sign out and take the pass with you. If I shake my head, you are not allowed to leave at that time.
Keep in mind that you should not be going to the bathroom the first and last 15 minutes of class.
You need to wear the vest to leave!
