Meet Miss. Santella

Hello third graders and families,

My name is Miss. Santella and I am so excited to be your new student teacher! I am currently a senior at the State University of New York at Geneseo and am working towards receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Childhood and Special Education. I also recently finished my Bachelor’s degree in Spanish language and literature in December!

I grew up in Canandaigua where I graduated from Canandaigua Academy before venturing to SUNY Geneseo. I absolutely love Upstate New York and could not ever imagine leaving. I recently finished my first student teaching placement in the Rochester City School District and am so excited to start my adventure at Harley. Over the past four years, I have had teaching experience in Canandaigua Elementary School, Geneseo Elementary School, and Rochester City Schools at School 12, 34, and 50. Third grade was one of my favorite grades and I cannot wait to share in your third grade experience.

Some of my passions include dance, photography, and traveling. Traveling is by far one of my favorite activities. I have been lucky enough to travel to places such as Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and through several states here in the United States. I also lived in Ecuador for four months last year, January until April, to work on my Spanish degree. I have met so many people and learned so much from all of these cultures and I am hoping to teach you about some of them as well!

I am very excited to work and teach you many different things! Again, third grade was my favorite year when I was in school. I want to make third grade your favorite year as well!

Sincerely,
Miss. Santella

 

 

I visited the equator last January. Yes, it really is hot there!

While abroad, I meet many new people and animals, including this crab.

While abroad, I taught at an orphanage. We made cookies one day because they did not know what they were!
