Bienvenidos

BIENVENIDOS Dear parents and students,

Welcome to my Spanish Two class! Learning a language is a challenge. While my goal is to make it fun and easy, much work is required on the part of the student.

I would like to stress the importance of having a strong base before coming into Spanish Two. **It is my professional opinion that if the student got a D in Spanish One, it would be a good idea to retake that class before moving on.** Many have been more successful because of this advice. They get better prepared the second time around and are less stressed out. It’s a win-win situation. You can access the NC Standard Course of Study online by going to [].

Your grade will be calculated by adding up all the points earned and dividing them by points possible. I post all test dates well in advance; there are no surprises. I do not grant extra credit. Do your best on each assignment. Please keep track of your grade on SPAN Power school. Expect to do about 30 minutes of homework/studying per night. Homework counts 5% of your grade, parents. Use your class work, homework, and practice tests to study for your tests. See my website for links to additional resources.

My MGS is on Fridays during “A LUNCH”. My tutorial is on Mondays during “B LUNCH.” I am also willing to make appointments as my schedule permits. A list of professional tutors is available upon request. Interim reports will be issued every 4to 5 weeks throughout the semester. Our Spring Open House will be coming up, date is yet to be announced. I hope to see you there!
