I've actually been a teacher at in
the TV PUSD School District 4:30
Junior's 32 if you
count my senior year of high school I was a
noon Aid at Lunada Bay Elementary School but
as far as teaching Ivan very
blessed and lucky to be a second grade teacher
for all 31 years at souleiado
only Auto is a very
unique school and that we have open classrooms so I
am in a building with the other first and second grade teacher
so when I get here in the morning
very blessed like it's see the other teachers that I work with
and time to collaborate and work and then my
own
chairs
that come and help in the classroom Tuesday
work with families is a lot of fun we
just today had a big room in
our building where we had all the second
graders come in and had a large lesson on
Earth Day so
so
I feel very lucky
and blessed towards here
I think about it I feel like
there's so many memorable moments
that highlight Community here
on the TV.
we have students and families from all over
the world everywhere it's a very diverse community
and in our International Fair
parents and families host the booze
and there's lots of different types of food and cultures
that we learn about and then this
I'm the fourth grade did dances
around the world for the whole community
and the students they had a
Special Assembly so we had dances we had
students doing the drumming the Chinese students
did it hold running show so it just
really need it just always really
warms my heart just
what a nice Community we have here. Out
at the district level K
through 12
and I had so many
amazing teachers that
really
put their hearts
and souls into teaching me not only as a
student in my education but also just
valued me as a person and I would say
I feel like it's just our pvpusd
community is just a full circle
Community it involves
students teachers parents
and the community and it's just a wonderful place
to be
I think it goes back to
what I was talking about about coming full circle as
a student here in
K-12 I had fantastic
teachers just to name a few or like mad
such
a positive impact
on my life not just educational
a but as a person
they really valued me and saw me
and I was
a really shy kid so that it made a lasting
impact on me and it's been really
wonderful to take those lessons I learned from them
and pay it forward to my students
teach me the value of getting to know each child
as an individual and coming
at them educationally through who they are as
a person and how they learn best
and what inspires them I
think it's just been really a
fighting to also to advance a
student here and a teacher but
I am now I have
children of former suit I've
had a nephew of a former student I've
had two or three
teachers
themselves one happens to be a
fourth grade teacher here at montemalaga and
so Christina
Reid and then I just ran at
Starbucks and he
now a Navy SEAL and
I just I don't know what makes me really proud of the
whole child and
so much so that the
community comes back and wants
so proud
of just the full circle
that the community makes here in
our district
