Dear Families,
I am truly delighted to welcome you to what I know will be an incredible class.
In the short span of forty-five days that make up a quarter, it’s not possible to learn a new language completely- But it is possible to begin communicating at a basic level, to open the door to a new culture, and—most importantly—to spark curiosity and the desire to learn more. These are the main goals of the course, which I describe in more detail in another section of this website.
During my three years as a middle school teacher, I have learned that close collaboration between school and families is key to a child’s success. For this reason, I warmly encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child and my class.

Estimadas familias:
Me hace muy feliz poder daros la bienvenida al curso increíble.
En los cuarenta y cinco días que dura un quarter, no es posible aprender una lengua- pero sí es posible lograr comunicarse de manera básica, acercarse a una nueva cultura y, sobre todo, cultivar la curiosidad y las ganas de saber más. Estos son los objetivos del curso, que desarrollo con más detalle en otro apartado de esta web.
En mis tres años como profesora de la escuela secundaria, he aprendido que la colaboración entre escuela y familias es la fórmula del éxito del desarrollo de un niño. Por esta razón, desde aquí les ruego que se pongan en contacto conmigo para comentar cualquier cosa que les preocupe respecto a su hijo y mi clase.

**If you see a 0 in aspen, have your student come talk to me! It is most likely an absence, no name on a paper, or did not turn something in.
