One week left!

This year is flying by. It is hard to believe that next week will be our last week of school in 2013. Here's what we'll be doing with our last few days of Spanish in 2013:

7th grade: The 7th graders will have their Unit 2 Lesson 1 test on Thrursday, December 19. We've learned all of the material that will be covered on the test so we will review leading up to the test. 

8th grade: The 8th graders will finish up their midterm exam review packets for the DGS Semester 1 exam next week.  They will also finish their practice exam.  Over break they will need to study for the exam that they will take on January 22 and 23.  

New Spanish Class Policy

Effective today we implemented a new policy in Spanish called "Request to Retest".  If a student earns a C+ or lower on an assessment, he or she may petition to retake the assessment or a portion of the assessment.  Forms are available in the Spanish room or in the 7th Grade File Cabinet and 8th Grade File Cabinet.
Students must explain why they think they got their score of C+ or lower.  They must then complete three activities to improve their understanding of the concept.  They need to include evidence of those activities with their request.  If their request is accepted, I will let them know the date of their retest. Their new score will be taken for a grade.

  Please contact Mrs. Bergmann if you have any questions about "Request to Retest".  

8th Grade Exam Review

Today the 8th graders received their midterm exam review packets.  The dates for the midterm are: January 22, 23 & (if needed) 24.   Below are the due dates for completing the review packet. Over Winter Break, please spend a little time reviewing each day so that you do not have to scramble right before the exam.
