Ms. Sidley

Bienvenidos a todos / Welcome everyone!


I teach high school Spanish levels 1, 2, and 3.  We use the textbook Senderos in class and follow the World Language Content Standards for California Public Schools. 

I have high expectations of my students because I know the students at Lake Balboa are extremely capable. Let's have a wonderful year learning Spanish!

Our classroom rules are:

  • Be safe
    • Follow classroom safety rules, such as listening to adult directions, sitting in assigned seats, walking in the room, keeping aisles clear, storing away phones in phone pockets, and keeping hands, feet, and objects to yourself. 
  • Be respectful
    • Students should be kind, accepting, and open-minded toward each another and other cultures.
    • Students should respect the classroom by cleaning up and being respectful to adults and peers.
    • Students are allowed to make mistakes while learning.
  • Be responsible 
    • Come to class prepared with textbooks, charged laptops, paper, and writing utensils.
    • Do your best and practice as much as you can - both inside and outside the classroom.
    • Communicate well if you need help, have questions, missed a quiz or test, etc.
    • Have academic integrity.
