“I come from, and married into, a family of language
teachers and travelers. Whether I’m sharing in the enthusiasm of a first grader learning his Spanish name, teaching second graders a (revisionist) history of Columbus Day, or listening to a fifth grader passionately expound on the mission of César Chavez and its relationship to our Quaker testimonies, my students are exuberant and delight in their Spanish learning!”
