ESPAÑOL 1

Welcome

About me - Sra Orlando

I have been a teacher in the William Floyd School District for 14 years.  During this time I have taught various levels of French and Spanish.  My students are my number one priority and I have designed this website with the intention of ensuring their success.  I love using technology to enhance the learning experience.  I especially appreciate the manner in which the internet can bring to life the culture of the people who speak the languages we study.

So use this site as both a window into our classroom at William Floyd High School and a link to the Spanish-speaking world that we will be exploring this year.

I am always available should you have any questions at: jorlando@wfsd.k12.ny.us
