My kindergarteners come from Spanish-speaking households in a predominantly low-income agricultural community. They are excited about learning and their families are committed to their children's education. I am passionate about supporting and teaching them as much as possible. Many of my students come to kindergarten without preschool experience, and will experience school for the first time with me this year.
