Buenos dias!

Long term substitute

Starting on Monday, October 5th, I am going on maternity leave. Mrs. Rocio DelCarmen will be taking my place until I return around Thanksgiving. Sra. DelCarmen is a native Spanish speaker from Mexico who has taught Spanish for 12 years in Texas. She has also taught for 2 years at La Marque High School. She will still be following my lesson plans and will still use the books that we use in class. Sra. DelCarmen already knows all the rules and procedures for my class and will be enforcing them in the same way. I have complete confidence in her as your teacher! You will learn so much from her!
