¡Vamos a conjugar! (Let's conjugate!)

On Monday, Coppell High School Ninth Grade Campus Principal Dr. Greg Axelson initiated a friendly takeover of CHS9 Teacher Reyna Conger's eighth-period Spanish II class to teach a lesson in verb conjugation. The takeover was the first of two for two CHS9 teachers after several entered in a drawing to have Dr. Axelson teach one of their classes.

"Mid-October is when the year starts to settle in, and teachers may be feeling tired," Dr. Axelson said. "I thought this would be a fun way to lend some support to our teachers and also engage with the kids"

While the freshman learned about common "boot verbs" and some of the tricker conjugations, Conger was able to spend the period grading recent projects outside the classroom. Dr. Axelson plans to teach a biology lesson sometime in the next few days and potentially hold another drawing later in the year.
