Dear Families,
My name is Cielo Flores and I am very happy for the opportunity to work with your family during this school year.
I have over 10 years of experience in education. I started my career teaching languages as second languages in Mexico and South Korea. I also bring with me 8 years of experience with bilingual programs such as the “50/50” and “90/10” dual immersion programs.
I was born in Mexico, and I moved with my family to California when I was in the second grade. I have the experience of learning a second language as a child, learning English with my parents. I understand how important it is to have a skilled, empathetic teacher to support in this process. I love working in these models of education, and don't think of returning to a “normal” model of education in the near future.
It is my goal to develop students who are able to think critically and independently, celebrate their authentic selves, and interact with empathy.
This year, your child and I will set personal goals and academic goals. Passion and perseverance for long-term goals are the best predictors of success. Students who understand that “struggling” is a necessary aspect of learning actually feel more confident and perform better academically, and for these reasons, we will work on perseverance.
Please be sure to save my contact information.
Communication is very important to me, and for the success of your child.
For questions, feel free to contact me via Class Dojo, or email – [email protected].
We have our Back to School night on 9/6/23 from 5pm - 7pm. Keep an eye for more details to come.
I look forward to meeting your child this fall.
