I'm XYZ, and I am teaching Spanish here at A. For the last two weeks, the children and I have been having a lot of fun getting to know each other and learning new Spanish songs, games, and words. I hope you will enjoy seeing the crafts that they bring home and that you will encourage them as they grow in their knowledge of the Spanish language and Latin Culture. It is truly a pleasure and an honor to teach your kids!
