Mrs. Chavez's Classroom

Website Overview for Students and Families:

Woohoo! We made it to 2023-2024 school year! Welcome families and students to our classroom website. Here you will find tools, resources, classes, and schedules. I will post information on our site to keep students on track as well as inform families of what's happening in the classroom. I am excited and humbled to be guiding and teaching the future generation. Together we can support, encourage, and engage with each other and with learning. Let's get started!

 

About your Teacher: 

Hello! I am Mrs. Alexandra Chavez, your math teacher for the year. I am so excited to be your teacher! I am very passionate about learning and teaching and have spent my college days learning how to be a kind, respectful, effective teacher. I graduated UNM in May 2020 with a degree in Elementary Education with concentrations in Mathematics and Language Arts. This will be my fourth year teaching. I love math, especially math that is taught with grace, patience, and compassion. Math can be fun and I am here to be a guide and facilitator for your learning. Asking me questions, participating in discussions and tasks, and being respectful is the key to my classroom. Language Arts captured my heart with reading. Reading provides a movie in the mind and I am here to help foster that movie! I thrive on classroom culture that is kindness and respect based, where it is a two-way street: me and you. I love to problem-solve, so if there are any issues, let's work them out together! If there is anything you need, please let me know. 

About me: I have been married for over three years, I don't have any pets, my favorite color is yellow, I live on tea and chocolate, and I love strength training at the gym. These are just a few things about me. I am excited to get to know you all! :)
