Hello!! I am a bilingual fifth grade teacher who has had the opportunity to work with amazing kiddos for the past 10 years! My students are all bilingual and biliterate and make my job a true joy each and every day! My students come from a low income community and they all have very diverse needs. Their experiences have shaped me as a teacher and as a human being and I am so thankful that I get to spend each day with them. Continuing to guide them through developing two languages and cultures is one of my favorite reasons to come to work each day! These kids are shaping our future!
