Big Walnut Middle School

Spanish 1 & Exploratory World Language

Hola!

This will be one of the places you can check for information on a course I teach. I will post large assessments in power school before they happen as a reminder and also detailed information on daily classwork will be in Google Classroom.

This is my 12th year in my teaching career and 7th here at Big Walnut. I completed my undergrad at Wittenberg University. During my studies I had the opportunity to study abroad in Argentina, Mexico, and Spain. I love my job and I am excited to get this year going. I am the oldest of three children and as a child I would make worksheets for my younger sister to complete. I loved to go school supply shopping and still do today.

I believe my role as an educator is to help students become positive and productive members of society by empowering them to solve in a constantly changing world.

Go Eagles!

The Advantages of Being Bilingual

Ever wonder why you get tired in Spanish class? When you are learning or using a new language you are using a different part of your brain that you wouldn't use otherwise. Research shows that this activity makes the brain stronger because it is like brain exercise. Bilingual people are better multitaskers and problem solvers than monolingual people. It has also been proven to delay the development of Alzheimer's disease up to six years.
