Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be your teacher this year. I’ve been teaching Spanish since 1992, and this is my 5th year at Lance. I enjoy teaching taught all grade levels, but middle school students are my favorite. I try to take the stress out of learning a language. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, swimming, spending time with my family, and doing arts and crafts. I have two dogs that keep me busy when I’m not in the classroom. I’m looking forward to a great year of learning and growing together!

Blended Learning Class – Students have the opportunity to take one of the five languages from Rosetta Stone as an elective choice. Instead of having separate classes for each language, we put all five languages in one class called Blended Learning. The students in Blended Learning will work in the computer lab as they independently learn the language of their choice. Students are expected to work on pace when they are in the class, as they will be working independently. Students who are not showing progress and/or keeping pace based on teacher progress monitoring will be removed from this class.
