My name is Mrs. Ortiz, and I look forward to teaching Spanish. I am pleased to be your child’s Spanish teacher this year. I am very interested in having your support and working as a team with your family in order to have a very successful school year.

I am a native of Puerto Rico, and I am very proud to teach my language and my culture to your child. I have been working in education for over twenty-five years. I have had the wonderful experience of growing up in a bilingual household. My upbringing affords me a unique understanding of language from the perspective of a young student and this background has helped me to appreciate and love my cultures.

I understand that every child has different strengths and weaknesses in their learning process. Therefore I am committed to having differentiated instruction in my class with a variety of opportunities for my students to achieve their goals. Nevertheless, learning a language involves repetition, constant work, and memorization skills. I will request your support at home in order to reach our goal this year.

Please do not hesitate to call me or e-mail me. I will try to respond to you as soon as possible.

¡Muchas Gracias!

Señora Ortiz
