Hola!  My name is Samantha Jackman and I am the 3-5 Spanish teacher at West Maple!  Learning a second language at the elementary level is so beneficial for students, and I am honored to help your children grow!  In our classes, we use a variety of reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities to help students master basic conversation skills about many different topics.  Students love to play games, sing songs, engage in partner conversations, and many more activities in order to practice their language skills. We also incorporate lessons about Hispanic culture from many different countries around the world.
