¡Bienvenidos a Español 2! 

I am excited that you have chosen to study Spanish again this year! There are many reasons why it is important to study Spanish:

• Economic reasons (diverse skills, better job prospects, higher salaries...)

• Social reasons (more friends, more appreciation of different music and art forms, more comfort when visiting Spanish-speaking countries...)

• Personal reasons (intellectual development, fulfilled goals, self-betterment...)

Now that you understand why you are here, let's learn Spanish! This class will be fun if you come to class prepared and ready to participate!

What I expect from you:

1. Respect Leyden, a la Sra. Gruettner, your classmates, and yourself.

2. Have a positive attitude and be prepared and ready to participate in class every day.

3. Call a classmate, come to period 0, or email me to get missed work.

4. Brush your hair, put on make-up, sleep, eat, drink, sell candy, listen to music, and use your cell phone anywhere else - but not in my Spanish class!

What you can expect from the class:

1. Mutual respect

2. A comfortable atmosphere conducive to learning

3. Great grades

4. Sweets!

5. More friends

6. More diverse skills

7. Better job prospects
