The students will learn about other children around the world while practicing conversational and social skills. The students will develop a sense of similarities and differences in childhood around the world. The students will socialize with a group of their peers. 

I have 9 years public school teaching experience with over 500 students from many different cultural backgrounds. During all nine years, I taught students in both Spanish and English. As someone who has learned a second language (Spanish), I value opportunities to learn about people who are different from me and live differently from me. I look forward to learning more about where your children live in the world.  

I have my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I am certified to teach Kindergarten through Fifth Grade general education as well as Spanish and English as a Second Language from Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade. I use my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction to create lessons that are multidisciplinary with higher order thinking skills interwoven throughout. 

I am a mother with two young children. I see the value that socialization and interaction with peers bring to our children’s social and emotional well-being. I believe that learning about people who are different from you helps you to develop the empathy that is critical for relating to others.
