¡Bienvenidos!- Welcome!

Welcome to Spanish at the Elementary School. This year our Spanish classes are taught by Señora Lisa Schauer, Señora Hilary Smith, and Señorita Barbara Danver.

• This is Señora Schauer’s 12^th year at IHES. She has taught Spanish for eleven years and has also taught 5^th grade, 4^th grade Science, and technology at IHES. Señora Schauer teaches all 3 grade levels at the ES. She loves to read and spend time with her husband, their two children, and their two dogs.
• Señora Smith has taught 6^th-8^th grades Spanish at IHMS for the past eight years. She will be teaching 5^th grade at the ES this year, as well as continuing her work with the 7th and 8th graders. Señora Smith enjoys running and spending time outside with her husband and two children.
• This is Señorita Danver’s second year at Indian Hill. She teaches 1^st and 2^nd grade Spanish at the Primary School, as well as some of the 4^th grade classes at the Elementary School. Señorita Danver likes to cook, read, and spend time outdoors.

We feel our students are incredibly fortunate to be exposed to a world language at a young age. As a department, our philosophy is that the best way to learn a world language is through continued opportunities to hear, see, and speak the language. For this reason, our classes are conducted 95% in Spanish. Emphasis is placed on comprehension and fostering the continued development of the four language skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). Our additional goals are to acquaint the children with another language, broaden their cultural awareness, and create an interest in world language study.
