Hello Friends! I hope everyone had a great summer! I can’t wait to meet you all soon and have a great year together! Just a little bit about me… I have been teaching at Oakwood for many years. I taught first grade for the past 8 years and before that I taught Kindergarten for ten years.  I know that sounds like a long time but I love teaching so it has gone by quickly!  I have three children.  My oldest daughter is going into ninth grade.  Her name is Liliana.  My son is going into seventh grade.  His name is Liam.  My youngest daughter is Emma and she is going into fourth grade this year!  We also have a dog named Rex.  Rex is seven years old and he is a yellow lab.  Our house can be very busy! My husband is Mr. Galano and he is a lot of fun too.  This past summer my family and I loved going to the beach and swimming in the pool.  We also loved going for long walks and bike rides together! I can’t wait to see you all soon!
