¡Hola!



 Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year! My name is Yessenia Benitez and I will be your child's Spanish teacher this year. We are beginning an exciting journey together as your child learns more about other languages and cultures around the world.  Your child will receive Spanish instruction once a week for forty five minutes session.

Learning a second language is an exciting opportunity that is very useful in today's diverse world.  My goals this year for your child include helping him or her to develop vocabulary and knowledge of key phrases in the Spanish language and to help him or her to appreciate cultural differences between our culture and those of Spanish speaking countries around the world. We will be learning in many different ways including singing, role playing, games and hands on activities.

 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at ybenitez@epps.org

¡Muchas gracias!
