How to read my lesson plans/gradebook

  • Often I will type my lesson plans in Spanish and label my gradebook in Spanish so that the assignments match what I call them in class.  I created this quick reference for parents to 'decode' my abbreviations and Spanish.

    Tests:

    What constitutes a chapter/unit or major grammar test?

    • It will say 'examen de capítulo __' - literally 'test of chapter __.
    • It will say 'examen de gramatical concept (presente, pretérito, etc.).'
    • On my lesson plan page it is bold.

    What does not constitute a chapter/unit or major grammar test?

    • Examen de vocabulario - literally test of vocabulary
    • Prueba de __ - literally trial of __ (these are quizzes).
    • These are also bold on my lesson plan pages.
