My daughter, Kylie, and I in València, Spain
<<Get to know your teacher>>
My name is Mrs. Zaleski and this is my 21st year at BES. I am excited to return to teaching Spanish, where my career began. Besides teaching Spanish for over 9 years, I have taught 5th and 6th grades, technology, ESL, and intervention for reading and math. While I am not a native Spanish speaker, I have a BA in Spanish and have immersed myself in the many cultures of the Spanish-speaking world from the Americas to Spain. I look forward to sharing my experiences as a life-long language learner and explorer of cultures.
I am always in search of authentic materials to incorporate into my lessons. Do you have pictures or videos from Spanish-speaking countries? Are you willing to record yourself reading a book in Spanish for our classes? Email me! zaleski@blairstownelem.net
