Spanish

Welcome

¡Hola! Me llamo Emma Catanzaro y soy la maestra de español. I have the pleasure of teaching Spanish to grades K-4th At NES!  In the past twenty years, I have taught all levels, from elementary students to college level courses and adult education. My favorites to teach are beginners because that’s when I can get them to do their best pronunciation and also instill a love of languages.

Although the lessons of all grade levels will vary, all students will be introduced to the Spanish language and culture. Class will be conducted as much as possible in Spanish so that students will become comfortable hearing and using basic forms of the language. Together we will learn and sing songs, play games, interact with each other in Spanish, and have fun while acquiring the language naturally.
