¡ Bienvenidos al mundo español !

Greetings and welcome to my web page. During the 2008-2009 school year I will be teaching Spanish II, III, IV, and V in room 504.  

This is my tenth year at Croatan, and before becoming a Cougar, I taught in Swansboro and Kansas (Go Jayhawks !!)

I am here to help you learn the Spanish language and acquire a skill that will open doors to higher education, travel, employment, and of course communication with others. The best way to learn a second language is to PRACTICE OUT LOUD, and to practice often.  --LA PRÁCTICA HACE PERFECTO--  So listen carefully in class, practice there and at home (interactive text web pages can be accessed from home), and should you feel you need more help, please come in to see me after school .

Reglas de la clase de español (class rules -- all classes)

1. Be respectful of others and their right to learn.

2. Be seated, prepared, and ready to work when the bell rings.

3. Attend to personal business (lockers, water, bathroom, etc.) before classes.

4. No food, GUM, or drinks (except water) in the classroom.

5. Nap at home, not in class!  Active listening nets greater language retention.
