About Myself!
I have been with WS/FC Schools since 1984. I have a B.A. in French Education, with additional hours in Spanish. I also have an MPH in Community Health Education. I have taught middle school students for my entire career and think they are the best!

Description of Courses: 
French
Students taking Beginning French in 6th grade are introduced to the basics of reading, writing, listening to, and speaking French. They are also introduced to the rich cultural heritage of the French-speaking world.
In 7th grade, students take Continuing French. We will review what the students studied last year and continue working on advancing our skills.
Students who choose Advanced French in 8th grade have the possibility of earning high school credit for French 1. In this case, students may enroll in French 2 in 9th grade, which is the goal of the middle school program.
SpanishStudents taking Beginning Spanish in 6th grade are introduced to the basics of reading, writing, listening to, and speaking Spanish. They are also intro duced to the rich cultural heritage of the Spanish-speaking world.
In 7th grade Advanced Spanish, students continue to build their skills in reading, writing, listening to, and speaking Spanish. Curriculum is aligned with that of Spanish 1 in high school. In 7th grade Continuing Spanish, the goal is the same, but at a slightly slower pace.
Exploratory Languages
Eighth graders who have not taken French or Spanish in middle school have the opportunity to take Exploratory Languages. This course introduces five of the six languages offered in high school in WSFC schools. The students learn basic greetings, numbers, weather, months, seasons and so forth in German, Latin, Japanese, French, and Spanish, as well as learning how languages are related and connected to one another.
