Ms. Corona's Third Grade Class

About Me

My name is Ms. Corona and I am so excited to be your Third Grade teacher! We are going to learn so much this year! I know it is going to be a wonderful year. I am so happy to have each and every one of you in my class!

I received my bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies from the University of California, Riverside. The following year, I received my master's in Education and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from the University of California, Riverside. Aside from third grade, I have prior teaching experience in first grade. I grew up in the area and attended Etiwanda School District. I always knew this was the district where I wanted to teach. I love teaching and am looking forward to the year full of growth, learning, and fun.

When I am not in the classroom, you can find me in Target or at home with my puppy Diego. In my spare time, I love reading, watching The Office and getting lost in nature.

My teaching philosophy - when a student steps into the classroom, they are stepping into an environment where they feel supported by their teacher and peers; where they feel comfortable to make mistakes and learn from them. When a teacher provides a safe environment, supports each student, and genuinely cares about their success, then the possibilities are endless. When my students leave my classroom at the end of the year, I want them to walk out with a passion for learning and the knowledge that they grew.
