I appreciate your support as we went digital/virtual for classroom instruction. I am also thankful for your helping your student stay safe & accountable. Keep being safe!
May we do our socially responsible part to help break the spread of COVID-19. May we practice social distancing, even for our students. Let's wash our hands often without touching our faces, take vitamins, & isolate at home as much as possible!

There are also links available at the bottom of this page for extra practice activities. About me, your teacher, Señora Heglar... For my academic credentials, I have a high school diploma from Gateway Christian Schools, a Bachelor of Arts in both Spanish & International Studies from Graceland University, & a Master of Arts in Education from Union University. I am a member of the National Honors Society. In the traditional four-year timeline, I double-majored, double-minored, & graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.91 GPA in my undergraduate coursework. In my Masters of Arts in Education coursework, I graduated with a 4.0 GPA over the traditional 2 year timeline while teaching. I hope to eventually complete a professional doctorate degree. For my language qualifications, I lived in Cádiz, Spain, taking collegiate courses at La Universdidad de Cádiz & residing with a local host family for a semester. As a student translator, I traveled throughout the whole of the country of Nicaragua over three, separate trips equivalent to a month's time, personally seeing all borders, both the Honduran & Costa Rican borders, as well as both oceans, the Pacific & Gulf of Mexico. I traveled throughout Guatemala, serving as a translator for a university trip. Also, I lived in Callao, Peru as a volunteer with World Service Corps, working with under-privileged youth & serving in the churches there. While living in Peru, I traveled the country seeing & experiencing the Amazon Rainforest, the Andes Mountains, & one of the New Wonders of the World: Machu Picchu. In my professional career, I worked as a translator in both the healthcare & financial markets for over 8 years of combined experience prior to transitioning into education. Personally, I am passionate about teaching & love waking up to go to school every day! I am a firm believer in southern hospitality, true honesty, & pure respect. I love Spanish, but also language as a whole; I hope to become a polyglot! I live for learning new things! Traveling is an adored hobby, though I will always call America the beautiful home. Food is a love language, and every breath is a gift! Finally, my husband & I welcomed our firstborn in August of 2018; she is a pure joy! Once more, welcome! I am excited to go on this journey of language & world exploration & learning with you! |
