Language does not need to be only accepted. It needs to be explored, expanded, celebrated.

WELCOME TO 2nd GRADE

DUAL LANGUAGE

Welcome to Mrs. Samaniego’s Dual Language 2nd grade class.  This is my 7th year at Benito Martinez Elementary and I have enjoyed the wonderful lives I’ve been able to be a part of.  This is my second year teaching dual language and am excited about the leaps & bounds our students are making!  This summer I received my principal certification and so I am also taking on more administrative duties this school year.  My masters degree as an Instructional Specialist and my 18 hours towards a 2nd masters in Bilingual Education with a concentration in Dual Language has allowed me be a more effective teacher & administrator.   It is my hope to be a positive influence on your child & to inspire them to not only be proud of being bilingual and biliterate; but also to be a life-long learner.  My experience and education have opened many doors for me; I am truly blessed!  I believe whole-heartedly in giving the best I have to offer.  My philosophy and strategies I use in my classroom are based on sound research.  I believe in our Dual Language program and I know that you too will learn to trust it too as you see the fruit in your children’s learning.
