Lauren Holmes
My name is Lauren Holmes, I love Jesus with all my heart and I am happily married with 2 tween kids. In addition to acting as co-op Director this year, I will also be teaching Spanish. I learned Spanish in school starting in 5th grade and studied throughout college, doing coursework in Spanish Language and Literature while at Duke University and George Mason University. I have since done both oral and written translations both here as well as in Mexico for work and on mission trips. I love the Spanish language and the culture of its people.
My academic background consists of degrees and studies at Duke University, George Mason University, and Regent University, and I have served as a Professor, Lead Faculty Area Chair and Mentor for the State of VA at two Universities, Faculty Mentor, Teacher, Curriculum and Workshop Developer and Leader, and owned multiple businesses.
Spanish Class will consist of us working through a yearly elementary or Spanish 1 curriculum. Spanish 1 Class will include weekly homework, quizzes and new vocabulary which come directly from the book, and Elementary Spanish will include some fun take-home review. Both classes will be interactive, hands on, allow for in-class speaking and writing practice, and we will allow for in class projects. We will also be learning about the culture and people of Spanish speaking countries. We will incorporate weekly and monthly review of all concepts, as with languages, all learning is built on remembering vocabulary in order to progress.
See you in class. Nos vemos en la clase!
