About Sr. Piñera
Caring. Communicator. Risk-Taker
My name is Christopher Piñera and I am from Mexico City, Mexico. I moved to the United States with my family over 20 years ago and have spent them all here in Houston. I graduated from the University of Houston (GO COOGS!) in 2012. This is my 5th year at Lanier Middle School. My main goal as a Spanish teacher is to incorporate technology into language acquisition and prepare students to become global citizens.
Overview of Courses
Spanish 1A (7th grade)
August 27Â - May 31st
This non-credit introductory course in Spanish provides the basic communication skills. This course is designed for students who have no prior experience and are interested in learning basic skills as well as culture. Students will explore the language via listening, writing, reading and speaking.
Spanish 1B (8th grade)
August 27- May 31
This is a high school credit course. Passing 7th grade Spanish is a prerequisie for taking this course. In this course, students work on perfecting their speaking, listening, reading and writing skils. Students study vocabulary, grammar, and cultural aspects for the language. Students apply what they have learned through extensive exercises. Upon completion of the course, students will have an expansive vocabulary and a solid, working knowledge of all verb forms and tenses. As the equivalent of a high school Spanish 1 course, 8th grade Spanish prepares students for further study of the Spanish language.
