CLASE DE ESPANOL

Hola! My name is Mrs. Tinelli. I teach Spanish 1 and 2.

Spanish is an elective here at Greenburgh Academy. This class focuses on “The Tourist”. Students engage in Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing activities that reflect Spanish and Hispanic Cultures. Students that fulfill all of the requirements of the course will receive 1 credit towards graduation. We explore the following topics: Holidays, Hispanic Countries, Foods, Travel,Telling Time, Shopping and Entertainment.

Requirements and Grading

Our district policy for grading is:

• 65% Assessments - No Worries! I assess students in various ways which adapt to their learning style. I prefer NOT to tell students that they are being tested; they perform better !
• 25% Participation - Students are required to participate in classroom activities. Homework is optional to students that are enthusiastic. Students that transition to college are also welcome to finish work at home when needed.
• 10% Citizenship - Practicing appropriate behaviors are monitored always.

Classroom Rules and Expectations

We expect students to …

• Be on time. Be respectful. NO BULLYING!
• Try your best.
• Finish assignments when absent. Students may also do assignments on our Google Classroom Page. Make sure you and your child joined our class. There is very helpful information, materials and videos. We currently are not sending Chromebooks home. We utilize them in the classroom.
• Clean up after yourself.
• NO sitting at the Teacher’s desk.
