My name is Mrs. Hernandez and I am thrilled to be teaching my third year of 4th grade. I have 22 years of teaching experience and teaching here at the Plaza is a joy.I believe in working with parents and students closely so that your children have success not only academically, but also in their social and emotional growth.Together as a tight knit team your child will feel more motivated and encouraged in their studies.4th grade is a fun grade to teach, but it offers many challenges to students.They are no longer considered a "primary" grade student, but 4th grade is that transitional year in becoming a mature "upper grade" student.They need guidance and direction to help them be successful.I will do my best that this goal is met for every student.I look forward to meeting and working with you and your child!
