Dear Families:My name is Leisy Leon and I am your child’s Spanish teacher this year. This is my second year as a middle school educator and I am as excited as I was my first year. I have a passion for teaching Spanish and developing a love for the acquisition of language. My teaching philosophy is that language learning should be a fun and engaging experience. This is why I plan my lessons to include the needs and interests of each and every one of my students and I encourage feedback and suggestions from students and caregivers. It is my goal to provide engaging instruction that fosters fluency in communication, develops reading and writing proficiency, and promotes cross-cultural competence. In addition, I am committed to providing a learning environment where students feel safe, engaged and that they belong.
I am a lifelong learner. This summer I took several professional development courses that provided me with the opportunity to learn effective communication techniques and strategies that I will be using this year to enhance our learning experience. I am dedicated to give your children all the support they need to succeed, enjoy school and have fun while learning Spanish. Do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Sra. Leon http://fa-leon.weebly.com [email protected] |
