¡Bienvenidos!

!Hola!

Me llamo la Señora Dennert.  I started teaching at BHS in the fall of 2014 as a long-term sub for Sr. Caldwell. Since then, I've been teaching Spanish I, II and Spanish for Spanish Speakers and more recently at Karcher Middle School! 

I graduated from North Park University in Chicago, IL with a B.A. in Spanish and Secondary Teaching. I taught two years in Minneapolis, MN at Minnehaha Academy at the middle and high school levels. Thereafter, I was the Director of Youth Ministry at Covenant Harbor Bible Camp for six years. I was able to utilize Spanish working with campers and staff as well as my education degree in implementing camper programs. Most recently, I worked at George Williams College of Aurora University and completed my Master of Arts in Curriculum Instruction with ESL certification. 

I love being outside whether riding my bike, walking along the lake, snowshoeing, downhill skiing or sitting by a campfire when camping. I am married, I have a stepdaughter Ava, a 2-year-old dog and a 3-year-old bunny. I love the Spanish language and culture.

I have traveled to Canada, Sweden and Finland, Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, Panamá, Puerto Rico,  Venezuela, and hope to visit Spain one day.

I hope you will love the Spanish culture as much as I do! I am excited to be at BHS and Karcher and buena suerte en el próximo año.

Supplies: Dry erase marker and eraser, pencil/eraser, a red pen, loose-leaf paper or a spiral notebook, a folder/binder and an open mind and willingness to try!
