In the picture we can see "the big mountain city" called Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, a country located in the north of South America. About Mrs. Jefferson: I come from Caracas-Venezuela, a beautiful country in South America in the north by the Caribbean. I had the great opportunity to study languages and literature in one of the most prestigious colleges in Latin America, Universidad Metropolitana. I have been teaching foreign languages for more than 30 years: Spanish, French and ESL. I have been teaching in Aiken for 12 years and I love it. My Mead Hall School students are wonderful and enjoy learning Spanish! I am married to Ronald Jefferson, a wonderful Georgia man. I am a proud mother of two adorable daughters who are already married. Both of them are great professionals. Barbara is a journalist and Brenda is an accountant with an MBA. Barbara lives in Venezuela and just had a baby girl, Juliana. I recently became a grandmother, the most fantastic experience ever. Brenda lives in Malaga, Spain.
About my classes: As a foreign language teacher, I think that the first stages of language acquisition require rich auditory, verbal, visual, kinetics, tactile, musical, learning experiences. Therefore, I expose my students to the new vocabulary through flash cards, songs and rhymes, story telling, spelling games, interactive activities on the Smart-board and the computers, the cultural aspects of the language, and much more. In this way, their communicative proficiency is developed by listening, speaking, reading, and writing so they build fluency in the foreign language. Once the students know how to write they keep the written materials in their folders. Another way to keep tract of the students progress is by watching the videos with the interactive activities on a private link I will be posting here soon.
