I am from Puerto Rico and I've been teaching Spanish since 1991. I have been at Dauphin County Technical School since 2005. I also teach Reading at DCTS. I love teaching! It is my passion and I hope that my students enjoy my class. Learning Spanish provides many benefits: the ability to meet new people and learn about other cultures, vocabulary expansion in English, possible wage increases at jobs for knowing a second language, and better test scores on standardized tests. Students will use the Quia site for taking quizzes, practicing activities and linking to other sites used in class. Students will earn bonus points per marking period for using the site regularly outside of class. Use your username and password in the student zone in order to keep track of your activities. I have included some links with vocabulary related to shops.
