I have a Master's degree in Education, a Bachelor's degree in Spanish and I am certified to teach Spanish K-12. I have taught students ages 4-18 from beginning Elementary Spanish to Level IV high school. I also have extensive experience teaching ESL to learners of English.  I love sharing languages in a fun and memorable way and I believe this helps students excel. 

Students will have the opportunity to solidify new and review information with a short assignment found at the end of each week's Google slide presentation. Each week's presentation will be posted on Outschool. At times, students will be asked to complete a content specific project. These will be short in class projects that may, depending on how quickly an individual student works, need some additional time to complete at home.

Informal assessment will be ongoing during class.

40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Kahoot and Quizlet will be used occasionally during class sessions. I will also, at times, play a 2-3 minute video/song from Youtube to introduce the class to an educational song.
