Ms. Kinga Galica

One teacher that impacted me this year at LRHS is French teacher Ms. Kinga Galica. She’s kind, compassionate, and incorporates fun into her lessons. Towards the end of each class, we either play a game called Blooket to recap our learning, play a French version of bingo called “Victoire,” or even watch French related movies. 

Personally, a lesson that stood out to me took place not too long ago. The class was given flashcards which related to our unit on direction and places. The objective of the students was to not only use context clues to understand the sentence, but to navigate the classroom to reach their destination. (Ex: if the flashcard mentioned anything having to do with money, the student would go to the bank.) This activity was so fun, and what I admire about Ms. Galica is both her distinct and interactive teaching style. Ms. Galica recently announced her retirement and students are sad to see her go. They will miss her but hope nothing but the best for her retirement!
