Parents' Place:

The number one means of communication from teacher to parents...
04/17/2019 @10:55am: I am working through grading assignments. I am traveling to be with family from Minnesota & Missouri this weekend. I hope to have ParentPortal updated as soon as possible. I will still complete the mandatory 1 grade per week via cultura de la clase.

On Monday April 1st, students received their assignment for the large, end-of-semester project that is due the week before final exams (description included in proposed calendar portion of syllabus). This project must be completed outside of class time. The majority of them already have the material to begin working on it. It is worth 2 test grades & builds their study guide for the final exam. Please encourage your student not to procrastinate on their portion (they will be responsible for either vocabulary, grammar, or culture of one of the units). Thank you!

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. I double-majored, double-minored, & graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.91 GPA in my undergraduate coursework, & graduated with a 4.0 GPA in my master's coursework. I am considering continuing onward for either a professional doctorate or a doctor of philosophy 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. 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 everyday! 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 August 15, 2018.

Once more, welcome! I am excited to go on this journey of language & world exploration & learning with you!
