¡Bienvenidos!
     Hola! My name is Brandi Aaronson.  I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with you and your children.  I am originally from California, born and raised.   I graduated from San Diego State University in 1995, with a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and a Minor in Native American Studies. This is my 10th year here at Desert Willow.  I have been teaching children for 15 years.  Prior to teaching, I worked for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals for 10 years.  I decided to leave my successful career in pharmaceuticals to follow my passion for teaching children.  In addition, I have a son who attended DWES and has now started Cactus Shadows High School this year, as a freshman.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I love to garden, hike and kayak.
      My assistant is Karin Martincic. She is a native from Guatemala.  She is fluent in English, Spanish and American Sign Language.  Karin is married with one son and three dogs.  She enjoys volunteering in the community.  If she is not working with children, she is helping at her local dog shelter.  Karin enjoys hiking, cooking and making crafts.  She is looking forward to a great school year.   
This year, our class will create, learn, play, and have fun, while we learn Spanish. Thank you for entrusting your children to us. We are looking forward to an amazing year!

About Spanish Immersion
Curriculum Emphasis: Spanish Immersion and Emergent Curriculum.

This preschool class, housed at the Desert Willow School, allows children between 3-5 years of age to experience their day exclusively in Spanish. Language immersion is an educational approach, especially effective for young children, that results in second language acquisition. The Emergent Curriculum is an approach to teaching, learning and advocacy for children. ... Teachers record these observations to reflect on developmentally appropriate ways to help children expand their academic and social potentials. Long term projects connect core academic areas in and out of the classroom.
