My name is Massiel Arellano, and I will be your child’s Spanish (2nd – 8th) and Science 7th grade teacher for the 2022-2023 school year.
This is my third-year teaching at LVA. Before coming to LVA, I have worked at East Avenue Elementary School, Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, J. Haley Durham Elementary School, and Niles Elementary School as an after-school program Spanish teacher and in 2015 at Chabot College as a Spanish Tutor. During my first year at LVA I was the STEAM teacher for all students (Pk – High School), last year I was the teacher for the class of 5th grade. I truly believe in the gift of languages and is a pleasure for me to introduce the Spanish language to the students at LVA. My goal as a Spanish teacher is for the students to learn more than just a language but to embrace and learn about the different Spanish cultures. Also, I am excited to have your child in my science class, and I believe that science is an extremely engaging and interesting subject that opens doors to new and exciting discoveries.
My motto is “WE ARE A TEAM” we work together, and we learn together.
