About Me
Hi, I am Kelli Winkle, the Spanish teacher at YMS. First, please allow me to tell you how happy I am to be at YMS and to have the privilege of working with your children! Parents, I encourage you to visit the classroom whenever possible and please feel free to contact me at any time for any reason. It is my sincere hope that your child develops an appreciation for learning another language while in my class and that they look forward to any further instruction they may have. This year is going to be great!
I have been teaching Spanish for 20 years. I began my teaching career in 1991 at St. Francis de Sales High School, a private catholic school, in Chicago, IL. I then moved back to Muncie to teach for one year at Wes-Del High School. I came to Yorktown in 1994 where I have been teaching happily ever since. I received my undergraduate degree from Ball State University, my master's degree from Indiana Wesleyan University, and my administration license from Indiana Wesleyan University.
My passion is traveling and I have led many trips with my students. I have visited Ireland, England, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Canada, The Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. I have dreams of seeing Macchu Picchu in Peru and the Pyramids of Egypt when possible. I hope that my current middle school students are able to take advantage of travel opportunities they may have while in high school.
