I incorporate light literature and music in my classes to keep things interesting and current. Many of my students have contacted me years later with stories of how it has changed their lives.
I began learning Spanish in the 4th grade at an excellent public school in Ohio. I became fast friends with a foreign exchange student from Nicaragua, whose limited ... read more
