WELCOME BACK

Hola!  My name is Mrs. D’Esposito and I will be your child’s Spanish teacher this year. I am happy to be back and I am looking forward to working with your child this upcoming school year.

It is my goal to continue introducing students to various engaging and exciting lessons of World Language.  Students will continue to build on their  vocabulary, grammar, speaking, writing, and listening skills. As well as learn culture and traditions of Spanish speaking countries.  I hope students will learn the importance of using Spanish as a second language.

Lessons are designed to be sure that all my students are successful.  Classroom lessons and activities will be the primary focus of learning and assessment.  Occasional quizzes will be given.  Classroom participation and behavior will be factored into their grades.  I feel students have a better understanding of the language when they are speaking and participating in classroom discussions.

Classroom supplies needed are:

1 - 2 pocket folder

1 - single subject notebook

I look forward to an exciting year with your students.

Thank you,

Mrs. D’Esposito
