Welcome letter

Hola, Hola

Dear Parents and students;

It is a pleasure for me to be working with you as we begin our journey in learning of the Spanish language. Spanish is an amazing language that can open many doors in the time to come in any working field and learning about many cultures that speak this language will engage my students in many adventures.  
 I am originally from Honduras, so my native language is Spanish. I came to the US when my husband that at that time, worked with a global humanitarian organization and was relocated to its headquarters in Atlanta. I have a beautiful family and enjoy spending time with them all the time as well as participating in all type of volunteering in my church and in my community.

You probably will hear your sons and daughters trying to speak certain phrases in Spanish so I encourage you to learn from them if you do not know the language.  That could be a great way to help your loved ones practice their speaking ability. This will take them through a great path to the next level.

I am very excited to meet my students because I know I will have amazing students with great potential and spirit. I know we are going to have a great time together. As I always tell my students, we are in the same boat and their success is my success too.

For all daily class information I will be providing the class summary almost daily by this means, but would also like them to create an account in the Duolingo website(to practice),Remind APP (for immediate updates and due dates),and on the online
 "Descubre 1" book as a resource. The first day of school students will receive the information of the codes to register in each web page and will be able to access through the blog.

I am very excited for this semester to begin!

I am here for you and with you!

Adelante!
