Dear Parents and Students,
 
My name is Giovanna Schillaci and I teach Spanish grades first through eighth. I look forward to assist your children in learning a language that has become so important in today’s world. 
 
In First through Fourth grade the objective is to introduce students to a foreign language in preparation to Fifth grade and Middle School.
The classroom learning experience will be reinforced with songs, basic vocabulary, and basic conversational skills.
 
The Fifth Grade and Middle School Spanish Program is designed to provide students with basic language skills and practical vocabulary. These grade levels include reading, writing, conversation and highlighting interesting aspects of the Hispanic Culture. 
 
I encourage the students to practice their Spanish at every opportunity, both in and outside the classroom, and at home with you as well. This web site will help you with the information concerning 1st- 8th grade Spanish. Please check constantly for updated information about assignments, tests and other important news. 
 
 
About Me 
 
I was born and raised in Mexico City. From the time I was in elementary school I enjoyed learning foreign languages. So when it was time to choose a University I jumped at the opportunity to attend an American University. I graduated from the University of Houston and have been teaching Spanish for the past twenty years.  
 
My husband and I first met at the University and been married since 1980. We have three wonderful kids and two beautiful grandchildren.

At home we always encouraged our kids to learn foreign languages, all three are fluent in Spanish and French as well. Each of them have used their language skills in their professional careers.
