About UsI am looking forward to teaching Spanish to those students that are privileged to take my class. I will do my best to provide information about our monthly curriculum in hopes to better assist the parents of my students at home with any questions that may arise. A quick to remember*** This is an idea of what I will teach, to all of my students but keep in mind that some classes will have added assignments beccause of the class that they are in for example: Spanish I verses Spanish II.
