¡Bienvenidos a la clase de la Señora Viccina! Welcome to Mrs. Viccina’s Class!
Welcome to SEÑORA VICCINA’s Class!! • My name is Esmi Viccina, and I will be teaching Spanish Language and Literature this year! I am so excited at the opportunity, and I know that your child will have a fun and rewarding experience in this class. • My husband and I are from Perú, and we moved to Arizona 13 years ago. We have two children, Ella and Renzo, who are in college. Some hobbies that I enjoy are sewing, knitting, and crafting. • I graduated from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú in 2006. This will be my first year at KMS. Before that, I taught four years in a K-12 private school and nine years in a K-8 charter school. I also worked as a GED Spanish Instructor at Mesa Community College, and I taught Spanish 1-2 at Tempe Union High School district over the summer. • I am extremely passionate about the Spanish language and culture and cannot wait to inspire my students to develop a love for the life-long learning of Spanish. My job as a teacher is to help your child succeed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It is so important to keep communication open between us. I check my email daily; you will almost always receive a reply within 24 hours. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND

High School Transition Plan • Our Tridistrict agreement is as follows: • Students in 8th grade who score I3 or above in all areas will receive a Pass grade for Spanish 3-4 and will not be tabulated in the GPA. • Students who score from N4 or above in all areas will receive a Pass grade for Spanish 1-2 and will not be tabulated in the GPA. • Students who score below N4 will not receive credit and will need to register to Spanish 1-2. • It is important that students take this test seriously because there will not be re-takes. We will be practicing and getting ready for it. We will also have district assessments that will help me gather some data on their progress in Spanish.
