Welcome, and thank you for coming! My name is Billie Teixeira. I have been teaching Spanish to High School students for twenty-three years. I spent the first twelve years of my career in the Goshen Central School District. After our daughter was born in 2006 my husband and I decided I should try to work closer to home. I starting teaching here in 2007 and we finally were able to move to Red Hook in 2012.
Why learn a second language?
Consider reading “Why Bilinguals Are Smarter” by Yudhijit Bhattacharjee, The New York Times, March 17, 2012.
Bhattacharjee is a staff writer at Science.
Spanish II.
Students in Spanish II will be able to:
keep and organized notebook/portfolio. The notebook/portfolio will be passed on to Spanish III. and then again to the intermediate IB courses. We will discuss best practices for organizing large amounts of information so that it can readily be applied to current learning as well as be of use in future courses.
practice independently 15-20 minutes per day specifically connecting current material to previously mastered material.
express original thoughts by synthesizing new material with previously reviewed or mastered skills.
apply cultural understanding to current and previously learned material.
read/write within familiar topics ranging between 200 and 300 words.
