All About Me!
I’m Mrs, Brown, your Spanish teacher for the 2014-15 school year! I hope the summer was terrific, and that you are rested and ready to return to school with a positive attitude! I know I am looking forward to the start of another fun and successful school year, and together, we can make it happen! I’m sending home this letter to you in order to introduce myself, review classroom rules and procedures, provide you with the course syllabus, and share with you the many ways you can contact me and stay informed about my class.
This is my 10th year teaching at Mint Hill Middle School, and my first year teaching Spanish at this school. I have enjoyed every minute of working at Mint Hill, and everyone is like family to me! Originally from Chicago, Illinois, I moved to Charlotte fresh out of college. Nine years have passed, and my whole family is now here with me, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m the youngest of three girls, and my two sisters are my best friends!. I will be getting married this weekend, on August 30th, and I will be out for my wedding and honeymoon the first two weeks of school. I will return to school on September 8th. My husband and I also have a puppy named Hamlet is 1 ½ years old!
I love to drink coffee in the morning, so don’t be surprised if you see a mug in my hand each day. I also love to cook, share recipes I have made, and try new ones as well. Another pastime I enjoy is reading, especially some of the popular young adult novels out. I’ll take recommendations any time, and I’ll recommend some, too! Some would say I am also a little bit of a TV fanatic. I love nothing more than to relax on the couch and watch one of my favorite shows. Lastly, I love to go camping, hiking, fishing, or anything in the mountains. My favorite thing to do is drive up to my parents’ mountain home for a quick weekend getaway. Most of all, I love to travel, especially to the beach! I could spend all day lying on the beach, listening to ocean waves hit the shore.
Of course, I love working with kids. I grew up babysitting, and I was a nanny for a family with two small girls for 6 years! In high school, I ran summer camps, and it was because of my early experiences working with children that I knew I wanted to be a teacher. Another inspiration has been my sister, who is also in education. While in college, I was able to observe her teaching, and she inspired me to form relationships with my students, and that is something I continue to strive to do each year, and each day. After college, I had the unique opportunity to teach at Mint Hill with my sister. I was a time I will never forget. Today, my sister is the new Principal of Piney Grove Elementary School, and I am beyond proud of her accomplishments. Because of her, I am inspired to continue to grow as an educator and as a person each day. I hope I can bring some of that inspiration to you this school year!
