  Hola!  My name is Ms. Osorio.  I am one of the Spanish 1 teachers for Burke County High School.  I am from Puerto Rico but raised in New York City. Even though, I was raised in the United States and attended high school and college here. I have a passion for my parents’ native tongue Spanish.  I received a Bachelor’s of Art and an MAT in Foreign language from Augusta State University.  I have been teaching Spanish since 2007.

   I love teaching Spanish and I try to bring my culture into the classroom as much as possible. I incorporate music into the activities I present in class because I find that the students enjoy it and they learn the language better when there is rhythm and movement involved.

   I feel that by teaching cultural norms and traditions this brings awareness to the students which in turn they incorporate in their everyday life and makes them more accepting of differences among cultures. I believe that a good education shapes not only minds, but hearts as well. 

   My biggest joy is to see the students’ eyes light up when they learn the language while role-playing skits in our class, or when a student tells me that they were able to use what we learned in class and talked to somebody in Spanish!

   Learning a new language can be intimidating, but I believe that my enthusiastic, cultural approach to teaching Spanish enables students to acquire language skills in a manner that keeps them interested and motivated. 

My Schedule:

What materials will my child need?

Your choice of a 3 ring binder with loose-leaf  paper or a spiral notebook with pockets, a Composition Notebook, Pen (preferably blue or black), Mechanical pencil or regular pencil, Index cards 3x5, and Color Pencils.

**If you’d like to contribute to the general needs of the classroom, the following items are always in need and would be greatly appreciated:  hand sanitizer, facial tissue, and Band-Aids.

How can I get in touch with you to check on my child’s progress?

* E-mail: [email protected] (this is the best way to reach me)

        * Telephone: Call the school at 706-554-6691 and leave a message for me to return your call during planning (2nd  block) or after school.

Tutoring Sessions:

Please schedule a tutoring session if you are struggling. My schedule is flexible and it would be my pleasure to help you outside of our class time.
