Bienvenidos!

I am very excited to be starting my 5th year teaching Spanish II and III at Forsan.  We will have lots of fun learning about different Spanish-speaking countries and their traditions, celebrations, foods and cultures. This year, I will  be coaching cross country, basketball and tennis. I am so excited to be coaching some great athletes this year.

The students will start learning Spanish as if they were beginning to learn their first language.  We will start from the bottom by learning the names and sounds of letters, basic words and phrases.  As the students advance, they will learn to sound out blends, words and eventually be able to write sentences and be able to read entire paragraphs in Spanish.  As time goes by, communication, grammar and reading skills will also improve dramatically.  Learning a new language takes time and lots of practice.

We will learn Spanish through repetition, games, songs, videos and acting out different scenarios.  You can help your student by encouraging them to study and practice every night.  

I am really looking forward to working with my students and their families.
