Parents Letter Survey
Welcome to Spanish class at Kensington CAPA! I am very excited to work with you and your
student! My name is Sean Carr, and I will be teaching your child this year. With this letter, I hope
to introduce myself as well as give you an idea of my vision and goals for the year. Furthermore,
I have attached a survey to be completed and signed so that I can learn a little bit about you as
well!
To briefly introduce myself, I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. I grew up in Mayfair
before moving to Glenside. I went to school at LaSalle College High School and then went on to
study Anthropology and History at Penn State University, where I received my Bachelors and
Masters degrees. My experience with Spanish is from both classroom and practical experience. I
studied Spanish as a minor in college, but the majority of my practical speaking experience is
from spending summers conducting archaeological research in Mexico. Outside of the
classroom, I enjoy anything and everything that has to do with Philadelphia and Penn State
sports.
It is my role as a Spanish teacher to foster each students academic and personal growth. The
primary objective of Spanish class is to ensure that each student is reading, writing, listening, and
speaking the language at their appropriate level. Furthermore, I view Spanish class as an
opportunity to facilitate each students appreciation of bilingualism as well as social and cultural
diversity in the Spanish-speaking world. Finally, in our Spanish class, each student will develop
as effective communicators and critical thinkers both in Spanish and English.
It is my hope to develop strong academic and personal relationships with both you and your
student. I hope that each students development will occur both in and out of the classroom. As
family members, you play a critical role in your students education. I encourage you to ask them
about something new that they have learned every day. If you speak Spanish, practice with them
at home!
Please feel free to contact me at any time. My contact information is below. Furthermore, in
order for me to learn a little about you, please fill out and sign the survey that I have attached and
return it to school with your student as soon as possible. I look forward to meeting you soon!
Sincerely,
Atentamente,
