Ingrid Schaller, Eau Claire, Wisconsin. ¡Hola! ¡Soy Ingrid Schaller! I first experienced foreign language and culture when exchange students visited our small Wisconsin community. Since then, I have witnessed how the exploration of language can broaden horizons and benefit anyone it touches - especially children. While completing my Spanish degree at UW-La Crosse, I participated in two study abroad programs, in Puebla, Mexico and Caen, France. I have an MA in Spanish Language and Literature and am currently studying to obtain a degree in Spanish education. Kinderspeak allows me to share Spanish with the people who can best soak it up - children. When not in the classroom, I am raising a bilingual daughter, enjoying the outdoors and reading.

Yasheka Satchell, Westampton, NJ, has a MS in Urban and Regional Planning/Urban Affairs from Michigan State University and a BA in English Literature from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, GA. She has over three years of teaching experience and a NJ Teaching Certificate of Eligibility for Elementary School. She has five years of foreign language education; three in Spanish. Her intrigue for teaching young children a foreign language originated well before she had her two daughters, but culminated after the birth of her first daughter. She loves to travel with her husband as well as witness the daily progression of her children as they reach their full potential.
