Hello Parents and Students,
My name is Amanda Grano, and I am very excited to be your First grade teacher this year! This will be my eighth year at San Pasqual Union School. I love the warm families, and the community here at SPU. Before coming to SPU I taught in the San Diego school district in grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade. I also worked as a reading support teacher. I earned my BA and teaching credential from CSUSM, Cal State San Marcos with a focus on literacy.
I am originally from a small town in northern California called Hollister, and now live in Santee. My husband Phil and I have a doggie named Barley, and we love spending time with our families & friends. When I'm not teaching I love being outdoors, gardening, cooking, reading, and watching movies. I love super hero movies and Captain America! My favorite things are my family, teaching, and traveling. Many of my past students know I have a big love for SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoos! I worked at Sea World for over 15 years. At Sea World I worked with penguins as a bird keeper and taught in the summer camp programs as an educator and camp counselor. It was a wonderful experience! This is where I discovered a love for animals and teaching.
As a teacher I share with families and students that with high expectations, support and caring, students can reach many goals in all areas of learning. I believe that a love of learning can be achieved by helping students create an environment where they are engaged, challenged and work cooperatively with others.
I encourage young learners to be problem solvers, and good communicators. In our classroom we will love exploring, creating, and caring for one another and the world around us!
We are going to have a great time this year in First grade. It will be a very special year! I hope you and your child feel happy, safe and excited to learn each and every day in our classroom. I can't wait to get to know you and your families!
Hugs,
Mrs. Grano
