When schools provide mental health support for students:

📚 Academic outcomes improve
⬇️ Discipline referrals are reduced
🧑‍🎓 Both attendance & graduation rates increase

Yesterday I graduated with my B.s, in Secondary Education: Spanish (K-12) with highest academic honors! I am so excited to be able to start my own classroom and change the lives of so many students. Thank you to everyone who supported me in this journey. #graduated #SRUalumni

My last day of student teaching was Thursday, which was great to have it on Cinco de Mayo so there were fiestas all day long. I will miss every one of them, but they will do great things! @BJKURTZ @srucoe #studentteaching #cincodemayo #fiesta

[Kennedy Koe @KennedyKoe2]

Why not learn about various festivities from Spanish speaking countries since Cinco de Mayo is next week! The students loved learning about all of them from their peers. @BJKURTZ @Junko_Yamamoto @PSMLA1 @srucoe #studentteaching #festividades #koeteaching

@DTWillingham Never stop learning!

[Kennedy Koe @KennedyKoe2]

We really have enjoyed learning about dances from various Spanish-speaking countries! #studentteaching #bailes #PPP

[Barbara Kurtz @BJKURTZ]

We are dancing the week away! Students are teaching traditional dances and explaining history, notable people, symbolism and more. @KennedyKoe2 @Junko_Yamamoto @PSMLA1 #studentteaching #koeteaching

[Kennedy Koe @KennedyKoe2]

Our students wrote a “chapter” on what they want for themselves and the world in the future using Spanish. We had a guided conversation in class today, and these were just some of their hopes/dreams. @BJKURTZ @PSMLA1 @Junko_Yamamoto @srucoe #studentteaching #mifuturoestufuturo

[Kennedy Koe @KennedyKoe2]

Commands in Spanish class can be fun! The students used it when learning/performing Cho-co-la-te, the hokey pokey, and Salsa. Now they are learning more traditional dances, so stay tuned!! @BJKURTZ @Junko_Yamamoto @srucoe @PSMLA1 #studentteaching #PPP

[Kennedy Koe @KennedyKoe2]

What a fun activity for our clases. Some groups really enjoyed it and ran with this activity. One pair had props to be able to act out 8 different characters! @BJKURTZ #studentteaching #koeteaching #spanishteachers

[Barbara Kurtz @BJKURTZ]

Acting out scenes from the book we read; students looked for clues and guessed the chapter portrayed. ¡Muy divertido! @KennedyKoe2 @Junko_Yamamoto @srucoe @PSMLA1 #koeteaching #studentteaching

[Barbara Kurtz @BJKURTZ]

#comprehensibleinput @KennedyKoe2 uses a circling activity in Spanish 2 to discuss careers and create stories. @Junko_Yamamoto @srucoe @PSMLA1

[Kennedy Koe @KennedyKoe2]

The students “visited” a Spanish-speaking capital city last week. They created a map of the city with streets and at least 3 places they wanted to visit with photos. So many benefits in one project! @BJKURTZ @Junko_Yamamoto @srucoe #interpersonal #presentational #studentteaching

[Kennedy Koe @KennedyKoe2]

The other day we had our class completing their week of directions with a treasure hunt around the school. Verde vs Amarillo, and they were both muy rápido and successful at finding their treasure! @BJKURTZ @srucoe @Junko_Yamamoto #studentteaching #koeteaching #spanishteacher

This Round Robin Rapid Review was good for anchoring past tense verbs; teamwork really helped here! @KennedyKoe2 @Junko_Yamamoto @PSMLA1 #studentteaching #koeteaching

[Barbara Kurtz @BJKURTZ]

@KennedyKoe2 transformed the classroom into a city; the red stripes were the roads. Students had to give each other directions to destinations. They encountered one-way streets and "road closed" signs, and could use the metro for a quick trip across town. Muy creativa

[Barbara Kurtz @BJKURTZ]

@KennedyKoe2 created a city in our classroom. Students gave directions in Spanish to navigate through the city and worked around "road closed" and "one way" signs.
