¡Bienvenidos!- Welcome

Welcome to Spanish at the Elementary School. This year our Spanish classes are taught by Señora Lisa Schauer, Señora Barb Danver, and Señorita Amy Giniewski.

• This is Señora Schauer’s 15^th year at IHES. She has taught Spanish for thirteen 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 Danver has taught 1st and 2nd grade Spanish at IHPS and some of our 4th grade classes at the ES for the past 4 years. She enjoys running, reading, spending time outdoors, and playing with her bulldog, Lucy.
• This is Señorita Giniewski's 2nd year at Indian Hill. She teaches 3rd and 5th grade Spanish and Spanish I at the High School. She likes to dance and rock climb.

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.
