POWER SCHOOL
Parents and students are encouraged to frequently checked grades. It is the best way to find out what assignments students are missing and need to be made up.
LAPTOPS
Laptops are used every day. Bring it to class.
WMHS Website and CANVAS
Most of my assignments are posted on my school Website and/or CANVAS.
VOCABULARY
Learning vocabulary is important and the key to learning a foreign language. A very good tool for this is QUIA.com
QUIA.com
To work on new vocabulary and expressions we use a website called Quia. Students can do these assignments several times and this really helps with practicing the language. I only take the HIGHEST grade that students make. I encourage students to take advantage of this asset by doing the assignments over either during given class time or at home (if Internet is available).
Retake/Redo Assignments
- ALL work is graded. If a student misses one day, it is very important that he/she makes it up. The majority of assignments are posted on Canvas, so check for the date you missed and submit.
- If a student fails a quiz or a test, or they just want to make a higher grade on it, within a week of that test or quiz, they can retake/redo it.
After School help/remediation
To provide extra help, I offer after school remediation to students every day. During this time, any student that wants to improve his or her grades on any assignment, especially quizzes and tests, can make them up.
Also, during this time, students who have difficulties in writing could take an oral equivalent quiz or test with me.
