Welcome letter

Welcome Parents and Students!!!

Welcome to an exciting year at Inman ! The spanish team is excited to be teaching your son/daughter this year. We wanted you to know a little bit of our background.

Sra. Stephanie Durán- Pinzás is originally from Quito-Ecuador but has lived in the United States for 25 years. She received her Bachelor’s in Modern Language Education with a major in Spanish. She continued her education with a Master’s Degree at the University of Miami in TESOL. She finally received her Specialist in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University.

Sra. Angelica Trujillo was born in Cali- Colombia. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Science at the University of Santiago in Colombia, and a Master’s Degree in Environmental Education.
She continued to earn a Master’s Degree in Spanish at the Universidad of Salamanca , Spain and finally in 2006, earned a Spanish certification at Kennesaw State University

Approach and Methodology As natives and experienced teachers, we bring new innovative ideas to get your son/daughter to love and learn Spanish. The textbook we will be using is “Avancemos".
This textbook not only will engage students with games, videos, conversations and a chance to record themselves, but also includes online students’ textbook and exercises. This year they will learn many different topics and vast information about Hispanic culture.
It is our goal that they will be able to understand, communicate and understand the culture and the target language by the end of the year! J

Approach and materials needed

The materials needed for Spanish class are a 3-ring binder with 4 dividers ( vocabulario, trabajo en clase, tarea, , cultura y diversiones), a lined composition book, line paper, blue or black pen, markers, colored pencils, and a pocket dictionary. These materials are required to be brought to class everyday. As you know, learning a second language requires effort and time. The students will have homework every day and it is imperative for you to make sure they do it since practice makes perfect....”

Wish List :) :)

Colored paper, white paper, dry- erase markers, paper towels, hand sanitizer, Kleenex, pencil, sharpeners, construction paper, crayons, markers, glue, acrylic paint (all colors).

Muchas gracias!!!!
