Hola parents! As you may know, we started making Spanish t-shirts on Thursday the 25th and we're working on them in class Friday the 26th and Monday the 29th. On Tuesday during class they should have their completed t-shirts ready and with them for our fashion show.
The students are using sharpie markers or crayola fabric markers on their shirts. To make sure their shirts don't get ruined (or they don't ruin other clothes), you should put the shirt by itself in the dryer for 30 minutes on high heat. If you don't have a dryer you can iron both sides on high for 4-5 minutes each. This will set the colors. Do not attempt to wash the shirt without doing this first, as it will most likely bleed colors.
On Tuesday the students will walk down a red carpet and show off their shirt to the class. They will say all the Spanish words too. Thanks for your help with making this a fun learning opportunity for the students.

About Me
- Jason Miller
- I was born in Provo, Utah and my Dad was in the US Army until I was 17, so I lived in Germany, Virginia, California, Kansas, and Utah when I was younger. For my senior year of high school, my Dad retired from the military and moved us to the little town of Springville, Utah, where I graduated from high school in 1997. I went to Brigham Young University and majored in International Studies with a minor in Latin American Studies. I took two years off college to live in Ecuador and serve the people there. After graduating from college, I went to Flagstaff, Arizona and earned my Master's Degree in Latin American History in 2005. Since then I've been teaching Social Studies and Spanish in the Phoenix area. I moved to Tucson in July of 2009 to teach Middle School Spanish at the Academy of Tucson Middle School. I have been married for 10 years and I have two children - Jarom and Rebecca, who go to the Academy of Tucson Elementary School
