HI!
My name is Maria Bastian. I was born in the island of Puerto Rico. I am 38 years old. Teaching is not my job, is my calling. I put all my heart, creativity and passion into it. I am looking forward to have the honor of sharing learning experiences with all of you. I believe firmly not only that all students can learn but also that a teacher should learn from her students. In my classroom I value respect above all else. If we respect each other, there is no obstacle we cant overcome. I believe that playing is learning, so in my classroom you will see students playing, and playing hard. Not many times in your life will your mind work as hard as it will this year. You might think that you have reached your limit only to make the wondrous discovery that you have only tapped the surface of your capabilities. If we can do that together I will consider that I have done my job properly. I cant wait to start learning with you!
