¡Bienvenidos a Español 1!
I am excited that you have chosen to study Spanish 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
