This is my fifth year at Central High School teaching Spanish! I feel so fortunate to be at Central because of the vast opportunities it has in foreign language learning. Also, my colleagues and students are exceptional people.  A major part of my philosophy of teaching is to foster a cohesive community in order to encourage maximum potential in the classroom.  Students participate in group work, presentations, skits, technology integration and more!  I want students to use Spanish in real life situations in the community as well.  Concordia Language Villages - El Lago del Bosque is a weekend Spanish immersion program that I will be taking students to this coming school year. Stay tuned for a date!  Spanish Day at the MN Zoo is yet another opportunity for students in level 3 to witness their peers in level 4 give presentations about the animals.  Please encourage your children to participate in these events this school year...¡Gracias!
