==== media type="custom" key="24334004" align="left"¡Hola! My name is Amy Murphy and I am your child's Spanish teacher. This is my tenth year of teaching elementary Spanish in West Des Moines. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in December of 2006 with a major in Elementary Education and a minor in Spanish. ====

==== In past summers, I have had the opportunity to travel to Spain, Italy, Mexico, Ireland, Scotland, and England. I had a lot of fun learning more about other cultures and practicing my language skills. I also learned a few phrases in Italian and am surprised at how similar the Italian language is to Spanish! We saw a lot of neat architecture and sampled some delicious foods as well! I am looking forward to sharing more of my experiences throughout the year with the students. ====

==== This year I am home based at Fairmeadows Elementary however, I also teach classes at Crestview and Jordan Creek Elementary. I see students from fourth through sixth grade, twice a week for thirty minutes. If you have any questions or concerns, you can call 633-6568 or email me at murphya@wdmcs.org. ====
