Welcome to my home page. Here you can find information about Spanish, Career Ed, Intro to Christianity and College Counseling and SAT prep. I look forward to spending the upcoming school year with your students.
You can access my assignments, projects, grades and important web links on Renweb.


SPANISH I

Spanish I explores the world of Spanish, introducing students to basic conversational phrases and grammar. They will have several projects throughout the year, and will have opportunities to experience Spanish speaking culture through video, readings, food and music.

SPANISH II

Spanish II further develops the grammar and vocabulary of students, introducing more complex concepts. Students in this course will also build a website of projects and activities in Spanish. This is the year they will take a Spanish trip to expose them to both the language and the culture.

CAREER EDUCATION


Career Ed gives students the opportunity to learn about all different types of career and education options after high school. Students develop their own web pages that serve as a digital portfolio of their work throughout the year. Job shadowing is a major highlight of the semester, which gives them the chance to follow and learn about careers right along side professionals in their field.


COLLEGE COUNSELING/SAT PREP
I will be available to all high school students throughout the school year for college counseling and SAT prep. I will be on campus to help with college applications, scholarships, SAT prep, and any other questions students may have about college and their preparation during high school.

INTRO TO CHRISTIANITY (ESL RELIGION)

This class introduces the international student to Christianity. We will discuss key Bible stories from both the old and new testament. Students will read stories aloud and discuss in class. Several projects throughout the year will allow students to demonstrate their understanding of what they have learned in the Bible. Weekly memory verses and Bible vocabulary will help to reinforce use of English in the classroom.
