Hello! My name is Sally Melvin. My life began in Illinois. I moved to California shortly after acquiring a bachelor’s degree in business/finance. Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked in the business world in all fields relating to mortgage lending and real estate.
Teaching has always been a dream of mine. I am beginning my 21st year teaching in Etiwanda. This will be my eleventh year in second grade. Previously, I taught kindergarten for ten years at East Heritage as well. In addition to acquiring my teacher credential, I also pursued my master’s in education.
Above is a photo of my dog, Buddy, and my husband. Mr. Melvin is a retired teacher. I guess teaching runs in the family! We reside in Glendora and enjoy our summers together vacationing in the outdoors. My favorite hobbies are puzzles, crafts, reading, camping, fishing, and spending time with family and friends.
My teaching philosophy includes:
guide and help children in the learning process
motivate student academic performance
encourage students to appreciate education
develop in students a respect for themselves and others
continue to learn and grow as a teacher to improve my skills
Teaching brings me immense joy! I promote teamwork in the education process and look forward to us sharing in your child's academic and personal growth. We are going to have an exciting year together. I am delighted to be here!
