WELCOME! ¡BIENVENIDOS!
¡Hola! I'm Maestra Cárdenas and I am teaching Spanish to 1st graders at Tierrasanta Elementary this summer, along with my partner teacher, Maestra Chávez.
Our classroom number is 42A.
I enjoy teaching students to love learning and my goal is to instill a sense of confidence that they can carry with them forever.
Our class motto is: "Always Question. Always Wonder."
I'm determined to honor the diversity that exists in every group of students, and to help you raise kind and caring future leaders of our communities.
My approach is "Work Hard, Play Hard." I have high expectations for all my students.
We will have our own Google Classroom and all the links to the daily reading passages and videos will be posted on the Stream section for you and your student to review and follow what we're learning in class.
We will be communicating mainly via Class Dojo. Invites have gone out already!
I'll add more information to this page as necessary.
Much Love,
Maestra Cárdenas
THEME SONG: “There’s a Leader in Me”
We are the future leaders, that’s what they say
But if we wait for the future, it’ll be too late.
So we won’t wait until tomorrow, our time is now
And with these seven habits, we’ll show you how.
** You gotta be proactive, begin with the end in mind
Put first thing first. Think win-win every time.
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Synergize with your friends,
because it’s always better when we work together
Sharpen the saw. Be the best me so you can see
There’s a leader in me (2)
I can lead myself. I can lead my friends. I can do anything!
There’s a leader in me (2)
The seven habits help me see. There’s a leader in me.
Now you don’t have to wonder, there’s no need
The seven habits tell you, how you can lead
And some of you have the answer, know what to do.
Don’t wait a minute longer. It’s up to you. **
Yes I can do anything, anything!
Because I know there’s a leader in me, there’s a leader in me
Yes I can do anything, anything!
The seven habits help me see there’s a leader in me.
There’s a leader in me (2)
I can lead myself. I can lead my friends. I can do anything!
There’s a leader in me (2)
The seven habits help me see there’s a leader in me.
