Welcome to 1st Grade!

I am so happy to be a part of the LaVorgna Lion family. I love being a teacher and watching the children expand their minds and grow socially as well as academically.  I have taught for over 19 year and am excited about my new adventures in 1st grade.   I was born and raised in California and after several years of moving around with my husband Brad's military career in the Coast Guard, he has retired and we are finally home! I graduated with my BA degree in Liberal Studies from Cal State San Bernardino, my Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential from Cal State East Bay and my CLAD credential from the University of San Diego. I have previously taught kinder, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades in Chula Vista, Pacifica and North Carolina.

I have 4 children; all boys! Tyler is my oldest who is a UPS driver and lives in NC with my sweet grandbaby Asher! My second oldest Bryce, is in the U.S. Coast Guard stationed in Long Beach. Chase is a Chap graduate and works at Storm Baseball Stadium. My youngest, but tallest at 6'2", Jenner is a sophomore at Chap and plays school and travel Volleyball! I live and breathe baseball and am a huge Dodgers fan, I love being with my family, tacos, coffee and cupcakes! I also love crafting with my Cricut and watching the Hallmark channel in my spare time! 

I believe all students can learn and grow if they are given the correct tools and a positive learning environment. I am excited to provide those to your child and look forward to learning and growing together.
