¡Hola!
Me llamo Señora Belch. I will be your Spanish teacher (or your child's Spanish teacher) this year.
This is my fourth year teaching at HBMS. Before teaching at HBMS, I taught 1st and 2nd grade for 10 years followed by teaching Spanish for 5 years at the Elementary grade level. The transition to Middle School teaching has been a wonderful opportunity to continue to share my love for the Spanish language and culture with grade 7 and grade 8 aged students.
I studied Elementary Education and Spanish at Keene State College. I studied abroad in Sevilla, España during college and I have my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with a Specialization in Literacy from Lesley University.
When I am not teaching and planning fun ways to practice reading, speaking, writing and listening in Spanish I love to spend time swimming, playing board games, or having a Super Hero adventure with my 7 year old son Joshua, or trying not to fall asleep during movie night with my husband Mark. :-)
I am very excited to be your Spanish teacher this year! Get ready to participate, move, and have a fun year together!
