![]() Well, I did it! I created a webpage/blog! I'm so glad you found me! I am Jennifer (from Saguaro Spanish by Jen Hoffmann). This is my 25th year teaching! It's crazy to think that I've been teaching more than half of my life! I've taught in four states in brick and mortar classrooms and I've taught students online from all over the USA and the world. I started out teaching high school and was asked to help out with an elementary program while I was still in Michigan. Since leaving Michigan, I've been back at the high schoool level! I teach online now and I have students from all levels (elementary, middle, Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4) but I only teach the live lessons for Spanish 1. That's where I belong! I've been teaching with Comprehensible Input since before I left Michigan. It's amazing how much language students can acquire with CI. I started with TPRS way back ( I don't want to date myself too much) and I couldn't believe what a difference it made with students. Unfortunately with my new online position, I was thrown back into grammar teaching. I've made the best of it and even found ways to make grammar comprehensible! Well, sort of. I have some examples on my Linktree of what I've done with grammar lessons (you can always find the link in the menu above). When I'm not teaching or designing resources, I'm spending time with my family. I have a wonderful husband, Kevin, and three kids. The girls are grown and gone and my son is 17. He graduated early and decided to join the Marines. He leaves for bootcamp in TEN days. JUST TEN DAYS! I'm going to be a mess because he's leaving!! I do have two dogs too but they just aren't him. I'm incredibly proud of him and his desire to serve the country (but my teacher heart wanted him to take the scholarship to college too). Our plan is to travel full time in our RV when he leaves. Thanks to COVID, we came up with this plan to enjoy life a little more...hence, the online teaching gig :) I'll update you on my travels here too because why not? My hope for this page is to be able to share resources with you that I have used and love and also that I have created. I really am so glad that you're here!
