Hello Room 24!

Hello everyone!

My name is Mrs. Torres, and I am a fifth-grade teacher at Boris Elementary. I am truly grateful and excited to be a part of the fifth-grade team to create a positive and engaging learning environment for all my students. This is my second-year teaching, and I can't wait to meet all of you and create an amazing classroom environment!

I believe that every child has unique strengths and potential waiting to be discovered. This is why my teaching philosophy centers on fostering curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and bringing joy into the classroom. I strive to make lessons that are meaningful and accessible, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning journey. 

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy staying active by going wakeboarding, wake-surfing, snowboarding, and rock crawling at Bald Mountain. 

I am so excited to partner with families and the community to support our students' growth academically, socially, and emotionally. Thank you for visiting my teaching website!

I look forward to an amazing 2026-2027 school year together. 

Go Chargers!
