Duties of the students at home
•
Mrs. Iris Sanchez
_
•
•
My goal is to create a dynamic
environment that inspires and
encourages the children to speak, read
and write in Spanish through interesting
techniques of teaching and learning
such as songs, readings, movies ,
games, and writing activities that will be
used , among others.
Students of 3rd - 5th Grade should read, each
quarter, a book in Spanish adapted to their level
and understanding, and take the AR test.
Students must study the vocabulary. (It will be
graded)
Tasks and projects will be copied by the student
on their agenda and placed on the school
website.
Responsibilities of students that will be
reflected in their grades
•
•
•
•
Finish reading a book and AR test by due date.
Home learning assignment should reflect careful
attention to presentation and its content.
The non- attendance does not justify the nonfulfillment of the task .
Classroom behavior affects grades .

Except when you remember

You are your child’s first teacher, so I will look to your
help and insights in order to help me understand
your child. My goal is for your child to reach his or her
full potential!
