I started off teaching Spanish, Latin, French, and German to middle school students in a course that I still fondly refer to as the “sample platter of languages”. It was a setting that really helped me explore and try new things as I got the chance to start my course over every quarter as new students rotated!
Then, I taught lower levels of Spanish to high school students. I started using different methods to provide my students with comprehensible input such as story telling, story asking, movie talk, picture talk, and other daily classroom routines! I also love using games, different reading activities, and technology in my classroom.
Shortly after having my oldest I stepped out of the classroom to try and find some more balance in my life. I love that writing on my blog and being present on social media helps me remain connected so I’m ready when it’s time for me to return to students.
