Welcome to a new school year and the beginning of the new adventure of learning Spanish. My name is Rachel Ganzer and I am a recent graduate of the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. I'm really looking forward to starting my first year with you and introducing both my students and their parents to the fascinating world of the Spanish language and culture.
Studying a new language is a unique and exciting task. By deciding to start learning Spanish, you are opening yourself up to not only a new language but also a new culture and community. We learn language by sharing ourselves, knowledge, and perspective, and thus a Spanish classroom becomes a large, cooperative community. It is my goal as your children's teacher to provide a classroom that is a comfortable place where they feel welcome to contribute and participate in every aspect of the process. As a part of our community, I have started this blog to extend a portion of our classroom to the parents. I will be posting here topics that we are covering, homework, and resources that students and parents can use together to help make this year a year of both personal growth and Spanish growth.
I look forward to hearing from all of you and am excited to start our new adventura!
Adiós,
Señorita Ganzer
