Hi! My name is Yesenia Pacheco and I am very excited to be your child's 1st grade teacher.

I would like to take a moment to tell you a little about myself, as well as what you can expect for this school year. I am originally from Morenci. I attended NAU-Thatcher and received my B.S. in Elementary in Education. Afterwards I decided to continue my education and received my masters, M.A. in Elementary Education with a Reading Endorsement from NAU. This will be my twelfth year teaching and my 8th year teaching 1st grade. I previously taught 3rd grade for four years in Pima.

I consider myself to be a positive person. I believe teachers' have a great impact on their students and the attitude of the class. I would like my classroom to have a positive atmosphere where my students feel confident about their learning. I want my students to feel comfortable coming to school everyday. I enjoy teaching and learning, and would like to instill this love to my students. My belief is that if children enjoy learning at a young age, that enjoyment will remain with them throughout the remaining of their schooling.

I look forward to meeting each of you and establishing a strong line of communication. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail , call, send a note, or even come visit.

Ms. Pacheco
