Hola clase! Hello to my class and their parents. My name is Ms. Staples, or as your kids will know me, Señorita Staples. I will be teaching sixth grade Spanish this year. Your children will be learning the basics of Spanish literacy, composition, and speaking this year. I believe that students learn by doing, so I will be using projects frequently to assess my students, rather than tests. A little more about me is that I have graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Education with a license in English as a New Language. I feel that one way to help the world is to teach. One way to connect with so many more different people is to learn a language, and I feel that I want to help people overcome language barriers. I want your children to know that they are taking a step towards connecting with the whole world by learning a language and that it is an honor for me to teach them it. I plan on using technology as a tool to help the students learn another language. I want to be a teacher because I believe that it is very important for students to learn a language, and I enjoy spending time with children and helping them through the obstacles that come with being a student. Technology today makes it so much easier for students to learn a language. I plan on using the numerous games and apps, such as Duolingo and Quizlet, to allow students to learn the language. Using different tools will not only make language learning more easy, but more fun! This has been demonstrated in this activity by all of the things that the students have had to do. The students demonstrated their knowledge of the language by doing various activities, such as making a cartoon and website with a diary. They also did various vocabulary activities and games to improve their Spanish skills so that they could showcase their knowledge even better.
