Teacher Interview

I interviewed 1st grade teacher, Martha Nguyen of Veterans Elementary School. She is married and has 2 children. She shared some interesting facts with me. She does not plan with other teachers although she would like to. She plans on her weekends at home. She likes being creative and working with different types of students. She does a lot of work outside of school and is now in graduate school herself. She is pursuing a degree in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages).
