Hola...me llamo Sra. Kittel. Soy tu profesora de español.I began teaching Spanish at Langston in August, 2007. I also work with our ESOL students (English Speakers of Other Languages.) I am excited to be part of this excellent school and feel very fortunate to be a part of the LCMS family. I have previously taught Spanish 1, 2, and 3 at Mauldin and Hillcrest High Schools.
In my free time I enjoy running, swimming, kayaking, hiking and generally being outdoors! I also LOVE to travel! I have traveled with Langston students and families to Costa Rica in 2013, 2015, 2017. In April of 2019, Langston students and parents traveled to Costa Rica AND Panama! What incredible experiences. Research states that children who are enrolled in foreign language programs tend to demonstrate greater cognitive development, creativity, and divergent thinking than students who are monolingual. Studies also show that learning another language enhances the academic skills of students by increasing their abilities in reading, writing, and mathematics. (Second Language Learning: Everyone Can Benefit: Kathleen M. Marcos) I encourage all parents to become involved in their child's journey to learning the Spanish language and culture! ¡Pura Vida! Sra. Kittel |
