about me!


Hi everyone! I'm Santana and a junior at Buffalo State College. Although I am not yet currently teaching, I am however in the observation stage and have also been working on many lesson plans designed for grades 7-12 ELA classrooms. When I am not doing school work I am spending time with my dog Caesar who i love very much but he is very spoiled.
I am very new to the technology world and not savvy at all but I am currently trying my best to learn all I can to better myself and also my ability to effectively instruct my future students.
