Thank you Profe Haus! I learned Spanish with multiple profes, but I didn’t begin to enjoy Spanish until your class. Your class gave me the confidence and passion to speak in Spanish to anyone, including strangers. I am no longer embarrassed about my Spanish/English hybrid. I actually find it as a plus because I usually laugh when I make a mistake and my conversation partner often does the same, which lightens the mood. Thank you Profe 🇵🇷!

I remember one extremely notable moment in your class when you assigned us our end of semester project. We were assigned to make a music video using our technology vocab terms , and I remember my group and I put so much effort into it. We translated one of our favorite songs, “Sunflower” by Rex Orange County, to Spanish and then changed the lyrics to include our vocab and the story we had created. Then we filled a music video of us running through the school trying to find a phone charger because our phones had died. It was so cheesy and lame but the slow motion cuts were beautiful. Thank you for making your class so fun and so enjoyable for everyone who was in it.

Thank you so much for teaching me latin 1 & 2. The notes you would write on the board in 9th grade was super helpful. Having tutorials when I went was also very helpful. The peardects that were made virtually were amazing and you put a lot of work into them so thank you so much! Food parties were for sure the best part. I wasn't scared to be wrong because I knew that you would guide me to the correct answer!

Thank you so much Profe Sisk for making Spanish a really chill and fun class last year. Even though it was online, you made sure to involve the class in the lesson, and you never stressed us out for any assessment. You always put the emphasis on learning and not on test grades, which is a rare thing at school. I always looked forward to your class, no matter how tired I was. I appreciate how you treated your students like friends and created a welcome environment to learn. I never felt ashamed of my mistakes. You were the teacher of my first LOTE class, and you definitely set me up for success in future LOTE classes. I'm really grateful that I had you last year.

Muchas gracias,

Thank you so much Señora Wiley for being my teacher this year. I'll be honest, Spanish 2 is really hard, and we cover a lot in a little amount of time. Even so, you always do a great job making sure we understand the topic and balancing the lesson with our practice. You always make sure to challenge us in our learning, especially with speaking. I feel that my Spanish has improved a lot under your teaching. You really care about each of your students, and I can see that through your teaching. I'm glad to be in your class this year, and I look forward to learning from you in the future.

Muchas gracias,

Thank you for making learning interesting and interactive.

You have seriously been one of the best teachers I've ever had. You're always so patient with us when we're struggling to learn, and are so helpful in helping us comprehend the material. You also listen to how we are feeling and actually take into account that! I can't tell you how many times you have cheered me up because you believed in me when I couldn't. Not only that, you really make learning Chinese super fun, like the time when you had us compete in the little competitions using chopsticks or the videos that everyone would make. You're extremely kind to all of us, even when we're all being kinda loud. I can't express how much I appreciate you and everything that you do for our class. It doesn't feel like it's just a class, it feels like a community and a safe space.

Let me preface this by saying that I had never considered Spanish to be a class that I genuinely enjoyed--predominately because I was not the best at it but also because it felt very boring at times. Learning a new language is probably one of the most difficult tasks as it requires you to build up from the start with principles that, without prior knowledge, have never been taught to you; science, math, or English courses are all cumulative. It was in this idea that I found a lot of my dislike for Spanish. However, I slowly began to love not just Spanish as a language but develop an appreciation for the culture of those who speak it in your class, Profe. Truly, you are one of the most friendly, approachable, and understanding teachers that I have had, and I hardly ever feel stressed in your classroom. Yet, I am still able to learn at a very proficient rate. My appreciation for you is honestly ineffable, but I just wanted to let you know that you made me genuinely interested in a subject that I would not have delved into otherwise! Thank you so much for that.

While I know that you no longer teach Spanish, I just wanted to let you know that I am so incredibly glad to have had you as my Freshman Spanish teacher. Truthfully, you were always so incredibly sweet to me and understanding of any technical/technological issues that students would have. Obviously, this time period was rough on all of the academic world, but you made it so much more bearable in your classroom. Also, I loved the interactive approached you took towards teaching us because you are one of the main reasons that I am deciding to continue on to Spanish 4 advanced next year! Thank you for that.
