Welcome to Miss Good's homepage! Whether you call me Señorita Good or Mademoiselle Good, this site will hopefully be of help to you. Individual Class links can be found by clicking the Student Resources link on the left-hand side of the screen, then clicking on the link underneath that for Spanish 1, 8th Grade Exploratory Spanish, or 7th Grade Exploratory French.
About Me Teaching The first thing I have to say is that I love teaching! I love getting to know all my students and being given the opportunity to help them explore other cultures and languages. I would like to be involved in any aspect of you or your child's education (whether in a classroom or extracurricular activity), so do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of help. My email here at school is agood@southallegheny.org. Education and Travel I was raised in Front Royal, Virginia, and Newmanstown, Pennsylvania. I studied French as a child and Spanish in high school, but I learned most of my language through traveling. Instead of going directly to college after graduating from ELCO high school in Lebanon County, PA, I instead became a Rotary exchange student, living with host families for 10 months in Rosario, Argentina. The blue, white, and yellow banner at the top of this page is a celestial representation of the Argentine flag, which naturally holds a special place in my heart. After returning to the USA, I spent a year studying at Harrisburg Area Community College, then transferred to the main campus of the University of Pittsburgh, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish, with a Certificate in Latin American Studies. I studied abroad in Saõ Paulo and Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, and also traveled to Chile, Mexico, and Paraguay. After a year of teaching preschool and substitute teaching near my hometown, I returned to Pittsburgh to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching degree at Pitt and complete a full year teaching internship at New Brighton High School. I began teaching at SA in the fall of 2006. Interests and Hobbies Outside of school, I love to play with my 2 cats, Sage and Midnight, and my ferret, Pipoca. Pipoca's name means "popcorn" in Portuguese, which is perfect name because he bounces around just like popcorn when he get excited and playful. For the Fall of 2008, I am training to ride in the Seagull Century, a 100 kilometer bike ride near Salisbury, Md. I also try to find time to go rock climbing, volunteer at the Humane Society, play tennis, swim, and create a home out of the house I bought in the summer of 2007. Family My family is incredibly important to me, so I travel back to my hometown as much as possible, especially during the holidays. My entire family teaches, so I sort of joined the family business when I decided to become a teacher. My mom teaches special education in the Seaford school district in Delaware, my dad teaches special education in the Conrad Weiser school district in Eastern PA, and my younger brother teaches English in Eastern PA's Fleetwood school district. My youngest brother is currently studying math education at West Chester University, and my uncle teaches in Eastern PA as well.
