Is there homework every day?

Yes, there is homework every day. You may access your daily homework by going
to my web page. To learn to speak a foreign language fluently, we must
practice constantly. If there are no written assignments, students must review
the lesson of the day, study the new vocabulary,write down any questions and
seek answers for their questions the following day during class. You may see
me after school to further clarify any questions which you may have.

love to speak the language and share it with others. I
am married to my High School sweetheart. We have two children.  I
have lived in Augusta since 1980. I have a BA in education from Augusta State
Univertsity. I am certified to teach Spanish K-12. I have taught Spanish to
High School students since 1999. I am excited to be a part of Lakeside High

My mission is to help develop life long learners of the Spanish 
language. I will focus on "Rigor, Relevance and Relationships" throughout the
