4th Grade

Hello and welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! I am Mrs. Morales and I will be teaching 4A this school year. This will be my fourth year teaching 4^th grade. Prior to that I taught 5^th grade for eight years and before that I was a teacher assistant for six years; all of these years were served at Mary McLeod Bethune.

I am a proud product of DISD. I was born in Laredo, Texas but moved to Dallas at the age of two. Since then I have lived in Oak Cliff and attended schools here as well. I graduated from the University of North Texas at Dallas in 2011 with a certification in EC-6 Bilingual Education. In my spare time I love to spend time with my family and to travel to Mexico to visit my relatives.

I am so excited to start the 2022-2023 school year and to meet every single one of you. We are going to have an excellent school year filled with new experiences and a lot of new learning.

Welcome back! My name is Mrs. Saldivar and I am thrilled to have your child in my 4th grade classroom. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. I have a teaching certification in Bilingual/ESL-Spanish and Elementary Self Contained (PK-6). I will be starting my 26^th year in education and my 23^rd at Bethune Elementary!

My goal every year is to foster a safe, collaborative, and engaging learning environment for every student. I eagerly await the arrival of your child into my classroom and I guarantee that they will be provided with an enriching learning experience.

I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Pre-K through 4th grade students during these years. I was born and raised in Oak Cliff, which makes Bethune very special to me.

I graduated from T.C.U. in Fort Worth where I earned my certification in Early Childhood and EC-4th grade. In my spare time, I like to work in the garden, travel, and, spend time with family and friends.
