homework on time? down each time you do not turn in your homework. You must turn it in
the following week though. Once your three excuses/exceptions are
used up you will be staying after class that day or the following week, be
prepared. Each assignment will be worth different times starting from 5
minutes- 45minutes. You have to turn your homework assignment. You

noted down that you did not turn it in. You will not have to stay after
class that day August 5. You must turn it in the next class meeting on
August 12. If you do not turn the assignment on August 12 then that will
count as your second exception.
When do I recite my prayer(s)? You can recite them before going to mass to Dolores/Sergio/Angelica. If
you can locate us. Otherwise after class.
I have to say five/three prayers? I give you a list of 11 different prayers, not all of them are prayers
Which ones do I need to say? though. I give you the option to choose any five from the first (front) or
second(back) page. You can do the shortest ones first and then the
longest ones last. Remember thought that by the end of January you
must be finished with 10 ½ prayers from the page that was given to you,
otherwise I will talk to Angelica and she will talk to you. If by the end of
February you have not finished telling me all 11 prayers then I will talk to
the father and there will be a meeting with him, you, and your parents.

2. What happens if I do not say the I already noted down the only exceptions why I would extend the due
prayers before or on the due date? date. If you do not tell me by the end of July why you cannot meet the
What happens if I miss class that deadline than I will not make any exceptions. If you miss class because of
day? an emergency then you have until Friday before the following week. That
is you have five more days or four. Depending when Angelica is at her
office. You can come between Monday-Thursday, maybe Friday from
3:30pm-6:30pm (ask her when she will be there, Angelica might not
always be there at the same time) and recite the prayers to her. She will
note them down and I will mark it down the next class meeting and you
will not have to stay after class.
I told Sergio/Dolores/Angelica my Make sure that Sergio/Dolores/Angelica writes down that you told
prayer(s) and they do not have it her/him a prayer(s). There will be days when we will have 15 or more
marked down. Why do I have to students saying prayers to us and we will not be able to remember who
stay? said what prayer the following week. If they do not have it noted down
then be prepared to recite the prayer to one of them again. You already
recited the prayer(s) once then you should not have a problem reciting it
to them again. The due date will not be extended if something like this
happens.
How do I know if I have to stay after I will write down the student(s) name on the board and the amount of
class? time next to their name. I do not like putting the student(s) on ‘blast’ to
the whole class but this makes it easier on me and my helper. That way I
will not be asked by all 24 students the same question: “Do I have to stay
after class? How long do I have to stay after class?”
What happens if I cannot stay after You have three chances where you will not have to stay after class. After
class for the time? you have used those up then if you cannot stay then the following week I
might add 10-30 more minutes or double the time that you have to stay
for that day.
What happens if I just leave and do At the end of class I make sure that every student stayed whoever
not stay for my time? What happens needed to stay. If you leave before your time is up or do not stay,
if I do not stay for all of my time? depending on my decision than you will stay after class the following
week for all of the time/part/double the time the following class
meeting. Or until you come back to class.
Can I turn in the homework(s) Yes you can turn in the homework assignment before the due dates. I
before the due date? will post online the instructions a week or two before the day I assign the
homework.
