Welcome to First Grade! 

My name is Ms. Mendoza and I am a first grade teacher!

I have been teaching for 8 years and it is my 6th year teaching first grade here in Lillington Shawtown.

My experience has been a wonderful journey. My LSES Family and the first grade team are awesome!

I am from the Philippines. I am proud to be a Filipino. I graduated with a Bachelor of Elementary Education major in Special Education in the University of Santo Tomas, España, Manila, Philippines. I have taught in the Philippines for three years in preschool and kindergarten. 

I am so excited to meet you! I am hoping for an amazing year ahead of us!
