Ms. Najera
Greetings!
I teach 6th grade math and science. I love Science, Engineering, and Technology! And I am eager to pass my passion for STEM topics onto my students. I use hands-on activities and investigations that engage all learners. Get ready for an exciting year!
About Me:
I am an East County native, growing up in Lakeside and El Cajon. I am a Valhalla alumni. I graduated from SDSU with a BA in Liberal Studies and my teaching credentials. I have a multiple subject credential, as well as a single subject credential in Science and a supplemental in English. I have also obtained a Masters in Education.
Between teaching and being a mom of two, I am very busy. My hobbies are gardening, crocheting, and knitting. I absolutely adore all types of plants! I am currently obsessed with orchids. You will find my classroom has a lot of green things growing. I also love animals. I have 4 cats, 3 lizards, many fish, a box turtle, and 2 snakes. I keep my reptiles in the classroom.
I have been teaching for over 17 years. I have taught grades 4 through 8, but middle school grades are my favorite. Before coming to HMS, I taught at Emerald, Greenfield, and Los Coches Creek.
Parent Communication:
I use Google Classroom for assignments and communication with students. I will also send home periodic emails with important classroom news.
Please contact me if you have questions or concerns. Email is best. : )
