About your Teacher: |
|
Jessica Rice was born in
Del Rio, TX (on the border of Mexico) and lived there until the age of
10. She grew up bilingual, learning Spanish from her mother and her
relatives, while her father spoke English. She was
surrounded by Spanish and was taught to show respect by replying to her
Spanish speaking grandparents, and others, in Spanish.
|
When she became a mother herself she realized the importance of raising
her own children in a bilingual environment. Teaching her three
children simple Spanish words became fun. She became active in
genealogy through serving as a genealogy consultant and discovered her
own heritage to be rich with ancestors from Mexico. Learning about
her Hispanic lineage inspired her to preserve their precious history to
share with her family and extended family. |
She first taught Spanish at Morningside Elementary to grades 1-6.
She was later introduced to Music Lingua through Susanne Reutiman,
a former Great Falls resident who was a German and French Music Lingua
instructor. While watching one of Suzanne's classes, she was
amazed as she watched the children sing the German words cheerfully and
enthusiastically. She decided to become a Music Lingua instructor
herself.Jessica says "The reward of being a Music Lingua teacher will
be in knowing that I am making a difference in my community by teaching
young impressionable minds. The Music Lingua program offers a wonderful opportunity
for me to speak and teach Spanish in
other settings besides my own home!" |
