About Mrs. GarciaNAME: Mrs. Jennifer Garcia SCHOOL: Clara Barton Elementary School CLASS: Fourth Grade GATE SCHOOL PHONE: (951) 736-4545 Welcome to our Website. I am a veteran teacher starting my 38th year as an educator - 38 years - how did that happen!! I received my Bachelor's degree from Cal-Poly, Pomona in Behavioral Sciences; Master's degree and Resource Specialist Certification from Azusa Pacific University; and GATE Certification from the University of California at Irvine. In Feb. of 2020, I was proud to be named a Sarah D. Brand Teaching Fellow at Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth. Along with teaching at Clara Barton Elementary School, this year, I will serve as our GATE Lead Teacher. I love to learn and hope to pass on that love to the students in my classroom. I am so excited to have the opportunity to start the new year's adventure in our Fourth Grade GATE class! When I am not busy doing "teacher-stuff". I enjoy reading, photography, cooking, gardening and watching my husband race his '69 Torino, plus driving my Speedster. My husband and I enjoy exploring the Central Coast of California any time we can get a few days away. And, even though my surfing days are far behind me, I still love to spend time at the beach. At home, we spend time with our dog, Napoleon, along with our giant 20 lb. orange Tabby, Casanova. We love to relax together on the patio with our three adult children; Daniel, Theresa, and Bill(a teacher like his mom), plus all the other members of our large extended family. |
