WELCOME TO OUR CLASS !
My name is Lorena Contreras and I’m native from Peru, South America. My primary language is Spanish and I learn English as immersion since I was a little girl. I have been teaching since I was 16 years old under an English Certificate from the University of Cambridge, England. After 2 years of teaching I start my studies in the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru, were I was accredited with a Bachelors Degree in Early Education in 2001.
In 2002 I was part of a teacher exchange were I taught Spanish as Immersion in the Early Childhood Center of Bennington College, Vermont, USA. I returned to Peru and teach English Immersion for 4 years. Then I decided to return to USA with the Visiting International Faculty program in July 2005 and taught in Upchurch Elementary school, Raeford, NC. For 3 years.
In July 2008 I joined the family of Sallie B. Howard. I have been in the school for one year and I’m ready to start my second successful year. Actually I hold a North Carolina k-6 teacher certification.
Ms. Michelle Hill is native of North Carolina. She has been attached to the Sallie B. Howard family for many years as a Parent and substitute teacher. After a few years she decided to become a full time teacher assistance at the school. She worked in second grade and then she came to kindergarten to teach the little ones.
