My name is Laura R. Ferraro, and I will be your child's kindergarten teacher this school year. I want to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, and I have lived in Minnesota since 2000.

In my home country, I was a primary school teacher for 13 years, and at the same time, I was also a university professor for 4 years.  Here in Minnesota, I taught kindergarten in Spanish at Roosevelt Elementary School for nine years, and I will be starting my fourteenth year at Adams.

I have a degree in Primary Education, a diploma in Higher Education, and a master's degree in Assessment. I also have a degree in Graphic Design. For many years, I was in charge of organizing trips for students and parents to museums and I had a school for parents.

I enjoy art, drawing, painting, and designing. I love being creative, doing crafts, and practicing calligraphy. I also really enjoy dancing and reading.

I know how important it is to speak two or more languages, and I am very happy to be part of the Spanish Immersion School at Adams. As a teacher here, I have the opportunity to teach my students the Spanish language, Latin culture, and a love for reading.

In my classroom, we will not only learn letters, numbers, reading, and writing, but we will also have fun! And the best part is... everything will be in SPANISH!
