A MESSAGE TO MY STUDENTS
Education is based on mutual trust and consideration for one another. In my class one must be ready to practice, study, memorize, do written work, and participate.
Make it the best class of your school day. If the basic rules of respect, responsibility, and conduct are followed we will have fun learning Spanish.
NOTE: Do you want to communicate with students from France, Italy, or Spain? See me for details and application to sign
up for a pen pal.
