2nd Grade Bilingual Teacher
My name is Maritza Ochoa, and I am one of the 3 Bilingual second grade teachers at Shadow Oaks Elementary. This is my fifth year here at Shadow Oaks and my fourth 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 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!
