Finishing Up the Term

First Term is winding down and this is a reminder for all students. There are a few things that will be turned in and graded for first term. Check Pinnacle and make sure you aren't missing any assignments.

First Vocabulary Test and Re-Take (if needed)
Chapter 1a Spanish or Chapter 2 (French) pre-quiz on quia.com
Any other re-takes for previous quizzes
Study Diaries (50 points homework grade)
Writing quiz make-ups or re-takes
Glog Assessment (summative grade)

Today we had a town hall meeting with the WHS Principal and Counselor. They emphasized the rigor that students will experience in High School and reminded students to study nightly and to challenge themselves. Your foreign language class is a High School level course, for High School credit. The expectation is that students will use time at home to try to learn and make connections between the new information I present, and the things they already know. To this end, I have provided NUMEROUS types of activities for them: music, drawing, glogs, powerpoints, games, writing, singing, recording, etc.... students can easily find a mode of practice that appeals to them! If you are having trouble finding a way to make connections, or need some help in other ways PLEASE don't wait- contact me asap!
