A bit about me!
I am originally from Washington DC, I have 1 amazing husband, 2 kids & 3 dogs. My husband is a dog trainer.
I am passionate about education!
I struggled in school and was labeled with many learning disabilities and therefore I strive to make my teaching as fun and interactive as possible.
Contact me with any questions @LaLobaLista on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube & Gmail.
What is a brain break?
Great for creating community, a playful environment and a safe space!
Helps our students to acquire engaging and high frequency vocabulary.
GIVES them a break from the RIGOR of interacting in the target language
They should be QUICK and OFTEN
I am deeply inspired by LaMaestraLoca and I highly recommend her videos for inspiration
