I teach 4 class periods of Spanish 1 and 2 class periods of Spanish 2 with a total of 180 students. I teach students from grade levels ranging from 9th grade all the way to 12th grade. My students come from a wide-range of races, backgrounds, and socioeconomic backgrounds. What makes my students so special to me is their eagerness and excitement to come to class. My goal is to have my students feeling welcome and accepted. Where they are allowed to make mistakes, learn and grow without judgment. I also emphasize that in my class learning a new language can be easy, fun and exciting.
