¡HOLA Y BIENVENIDOS A LA CLASE DE ESPAñOL!

I am so excited to start the 2017.18 school year and have you in my class!

This is my 17th year teaching. Believe it or not, I started out my career teaching 2nd grade! After teaching 6 years, I made the leap to Boise High School as a Spanish teacher. In the 11 years that I have been at Boise High School, I have had the pleasure of teaching Spanish 2, Spanish 3, Accelerated Spanish 3/4 and AP Spanish Literature and Culture.

Having been raised in a bilingual household growing up, I have seen the benefits of knowing 2 languages. This is where I acquired my deep passion for building bridges between different cultures and languages. In my classroom, I take pride in helping everyone of my students become a piece of a puzzle in our community that is empathetic, considerate and appreciative of the rich cultures and languages that we have surrounding us. I am most privileged by helping all of you build bridges in your own way and watch all of you grow and become more confident in the use of a second language.

Things that I am crazy about: I love coffee! I love music - all genres! I love my classroom to be loud and interactive - if I can't hear you than you aren't learning! One of my biggest passions is traveling - the more I struggle to communicate the better; I love learning new languages and different ways of living. To date my favorite country is the Republic of Tonga! My family - I have an extremely large family! I am an aunt 26 times and a great aunt 14 and more are coming. Currently I am infatuated with my new niece and nephew - Twins! Mrs. Wilmot is one of my besties! I adore her and we do everything together as well as plan fun activities for all of you! And finally YOU!!! I am absolutely crazy about all of my students and the journey we experience together during the school year!
