My Students

I have the privilege of teaching some amazing high schoolers in our Dual Credit Spanish course. Our students are determined and driven to do well in school and beyond. They take pride in what they do, and they are eager to learn as much as they can!

My Project

Our schedule is constantly being disrupted due to student quarantines and it is almost impossible to make materials that are useful both in person and online from scratch for each class. So much of our prep time is, unfortunately, spent covering other teacher's classes due to repeated absences. I don't have the time I wish I did in order to make supplemental materials that are engaging and enjoyable for my students.

I want my students to have the engaging activities and materials they deserve!

We would use this to go on virtual field trips, read authentic materials, have beneficial test prep materials, and play some amazing games that are all already made and ready for purchase!
