(A little bit about Señor Shashoua...)
My name is Rob Shashoua (last name rhymes with Joshua) and I teach Spanish 1 & 2. This is my 1st year teaching at MVMS and my 15th year as a Spanish teacher.
My journey with the Spanish language began in 7th grade. I still have many fond memories of my middle school and high school Spanish teachers, who made classes fun and got me excited about learning a new language. Each year, I hope to engage and inspire my own students, like my teachers did for me. As part of my Spanish major in college, I did three study abroad programs: in Oaxaca, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Santiago, Chile. Through living with families who spoke little to no English, I had no choice but to improve my Spanish to a level of fluency. This process of learning language through immersion and communication was a little intimidating at first, but incredibly effective and rewarding! |
I took the photos on this page while on a service learning trip in northern Chile through La Universidad Católica, Santiago.
As my Spanish improved, I also learned to love Spanish and Latin American culture. Being able to “live” the culture and not just observe it as a tourist deepened my understanding and appreciation of it. This would not have been possible without being able to speak and understand Spanish.

I love to incorporate culture, music, humor, games, technology, and lots of speaking activities into each week’s lessons. I look forward to a great year learning Spanish together!

As a teacher, I love getting to know my students as people, and then helping them on their own journeys with Spanish!
