Mandatory Classroom Expressions

All students must use this vocabulary if they wish to go to the restroom or office or if they need something.  The vocabulary will be exhibited in the classroom at all times, but they will be expected to use the vocabulary without looking each time after the first month of classes. The students are in this class to learn to speak Spanish and this is the first step in learning. Students who will not try to speak in Spanish will loose a págame for each infraction of the rule.  All students are expected to try and speak and learn.
