Madrid, Spain.
Dear parents and guardians,
My name is Mr. Heikell & I am excited for this new school year. I am delighted to have the opportunity to share my knowledge of the Spanish language & many World cultures with your child this year. I have taught Spanish for 22 years now & have been in several districts in Texas. I have taught all five levels of Spanish & I am currently teaching Introduction to Spanish & Exploring Languages. I have taught both High School & Middle School in Texas this will be my 2nd year at Stockton Junior High.
I initially learned Spanish by living in Spain over twenty-five years ago. I had the opportunity to live there for two years & I had the wonderful privilege of seeing the colorful & complex culture of that Iberian nation all year long. I lived in many cities including Barcelona, Tarragona, Reus, Alicante, Creviente, La Villa Joyosa & Murcia. Upon returning back home, I majored in Spanish at California State University of Sacramento & received my Bachelors degree in Spanish with a minor in education. I am certified by the State of Texas as a public educator and I am also certified as a Spanish Advanced Placement teacher.
I am married with three wonderful children. Our daughter graduated from BYU Idaho & the middle child is serving a two year mission in Ogden, Utah for our church. The youngest is graduate of Conroe High School. They are all a great blessing in our lives & growing up fast. As a parent, I understand the need for knowledge about your child's schooling. I will provide tools to help aid you in navigating your child's foreign language class this year. In turn, the kids will be given tools to help them be successful in their studies. Ask them about our daily activities, the vocabulary & activities we are doing in class. Have them show you their vocabulary papers & share the activities they have done in class.
I appreciate & applaud all that you do for your children and I look forward to meeting you & your children this school year. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you & your child this year. I am only an email away.
Sincerely,
Mr. Heikell
