Welcome! Bienvenidos!
Welcome! Bienvenidos!
I am Mrs. Henriques also known as Señora Henriques! Welcome to my new and returning students and families! I am looking forward to getting to know you and to help you learn a new language. My 6th Graders will be introduced to 3 languages: Chinese, Spanish, and French. Before the end of 6th grade you will be asked to choose a language (Spanish or Chinese) to continue with in 7th & 8th Grade.
My 7th & 8th Graders have chosen to continue learning Spanish. My goal is to help you improve your Spanish vocabulary and confidence so that you can communicate in Spanish. Learning another language will also include becoming familiar with different cultures.
I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Italian parents. My family moved to Newark, New Jersey when I was 4 years old. I grew up in a large Italian-American family and diverse neighborhood known as the Ironbound. I attended Montclair State University and Kean University. I am married, my husband is Portuguese-American, and we have 2 grown children that attended Woodbridge Township schools. This is my 22nd year at Colonia Middle School.
