íBuenos días! Hello! My name is Amy Jo Gaebe. I began teaching Spanish here at Eden Valley-Watkins in 2024. I am a Minnesota native and taught Spanish and ESL at Paynesville Area Schools for 17 years. I studied at the University of North Dakota - Grand Forks graduating with my teaching degree with French and Spanish majors. I was certified through Mankato State University for teaching English as a Second Language.

My current classes include Spanish in levels 1 through 4 and an exploratory-level. Currently, Spanish 4 students are able to take college-credit from Southwest Minnesota State University. I also work with multilingual students as they learn English. I’ve had the opportunity to travel abroad with students now for over 20 years. I love to travel with family, friends and students to places in Spain, Portugal, France and Costa Rica. There are still many more countries I hope to see with students!
