BEGINNING WEEK # 8: Oct. 04 to Oct. 08, 2010

Conference Week is finally over!  I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those parents who took time off their very busy schedule to meet with me to discuss their students' progress in Spanish class.  Those who were not able to meet with me may still make special arrangements via Email.   
After reassessing the first few weeks of Spanish Class, and talking to some of the parents and students, I have decided to implement the following changes to the course.
1-   Grades/Quizzes will return to the point system used last year.  (With the help of my colleagues I was able to determine how to implement the point system in the JMC system rather than the percentage system normally used to calculate grades at Lourdes.)

2-    Students will now have one computer lab day a week for Spanish class to complete some of the Extra Point assignments offered at the @Home Tutor.  (Keep in mind that logistically it will not be possible for them to finish the entire @home tutor section at school so they may still have to finish some of it at home.)  

3-   Saturday and Monday Morning Spanish Blog updates will now be posted in class.  There will also be an additional copy posted by the Computer lab room downstairs in the school's library. 

!!! NOTE !!!  

ONLINE @Home Tutor Unit 1- Lesson 1 Exercises will no longer be accepted after Monday, Oct. 04.
