Hi! Welcome to my Class Website!!! I am currently teaching 4th Graders at Aventura Waterways K-8 Center. I have lived in Florida all my life. This fall I will be starting my 16th year of teaching. I love teaching and my greatest satisfaction is watching a child’s love for learning grow! I began my teaching career in a private school where I taught Reading to 4th -6th graders, for 4 years. I then became a Dade County Public School Teacher, and began teaching 4th grade a VAB Highland Oaks Elementary. I was there for three wonderful years. A couple of years ago, I came to AWK-8 Center, and love it here!
I have a wonderfully supportive family who all live near me. My husband is a very hard working police officer. We have a 7 year son, Alejandro Luis, and my 2nd son Adrian Alejandro, is 5 years old.You will hear me talking about them all the time. My niece Destiny is a United States Marine, and we are very proud of her. She is busy traveling the world and studying so you will hear me talking about her A LOT!!!! My mom is an insurance agent, and has worked at the same place for the past 40 years. My dad owns his own business, and I help him after school. My little brother Louie is a mechanic and loves working on cars. I almost forgot Laz, my beautiful and loving puppy.
I attended Barry University, were I got my Bachelors Degree in K-6 Elementary Education. I then went back receive a Master’s Degree in Reading K-12th. I enjoy learning new things and teachers are always taking classes and courses to better themselves.
I took a family vacation over the summer and had loads of fun!!!
My interests outside of school include Reading, Traveling, Gardening, Walking, and watching movies. I enjoy working on this website, and hopefully will get it to be even greater soon!! Other things about me:
