About Me...
My name is Maritza Ochoa, and I am one of the 3 Bilingual second grade teachers at Shadow Oaks Elementary. This is my fourth year here at Shadow Oaks and my third year teaching 2nd grade. I graduated in 2015 from University of Houston-Downtown with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies. I’ve wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember so this is my dream job! I love teaching and hope to pass my love for learning on to my students. I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Spring Branch Independent School District teaching staff. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family.
Be assured that I will do my best to make this school year an enjoyable time for your child, but also a time filled with real learning. The skills we practice daily in Second grade are the building blocks for your child's future success in school and in life. I know if we all work together, we can make this a wonderful year for our students and help them reach each goal that is set for them.
I am looking forward to getting to know all the children. I am sure that all of us will learn a lot in the upcoming months! I will send home information to keep you informed and up-to-date on what the children are doing in the classroom, as well as what you can do with your child at home to provide additional practice in certain areas. If you ever have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me via email at [email protected] My conference time is from 8:30 to 9:15 Tuesday through Thursday.
