Dear Parents and Students,

Bienvenidos al segundo semestre de la clase de espaol! (Welcome to the

second semester of Spanish class!) My name is Ms. Burchett the students will call
me Seorita Burchett- and I am a Spanish and ESL student teacher that will be
working at Homestead High School this semester. I am currently in the final stages
of my secondary Spanish language education studies at Ball State University.
I am excited to be able to learn more about teaching during my experience in the
classroom while working with my cooperating Spanish teacher, Profe Bollman this
semester. In the beginning of this semester I will be working under Profe Bollman in
both her 1st and 4th period Spanish II classes. As the semester continues, I hope to
further gain expertise in the classroom so that I will be ready and able to take over
all teaching responsibilities in the classroom.
My goals for this semester are not only to learn from other foreign language
educators, but to learn from the students as well. I hope to get to know each and
every one of my students so that I can better create an engaging environment that
stems from the students curiosity and motivation to learn the Spanish language
and culture. At the end of course, I want all of the students to be successful and
feel not only ready, but also confident in continuing their Spanish education into the
following year.
To that end, please feel free to contact me at school to discuss your questions
or comments. Profe Bollman can also be contacted throughout the semester. Profe
Bollmans phone number is 260.431.2200 and e-mail is mbollman@sacs.k12.in.us.
My e-mail is HHSSteacher2@sacs.k12.in.us and phone number to contact me is
262.431.2200. E-mail is the most sufficient method in contacting either of us as our
phones are off during the day while we are teaching. I look forward to meeting you
all at some point this semester and working together to maximize your students
learning experience!
Muchsimas Gracias!
(Many thanks!)
