¡Bienvenidas Familias!

Welcome to Kindergarten Spanish Immersion at Union Park School! We are excited about incredible new adventures in learning and fun throughout this 2024-2025 school year. I am so very honored to be your Teacher. I love working with our community, continuing "Toro Traditions" together for the fifth year since we opened our school.  

Born in Los Angeles, and raised in San Diego, I grew up in a very culturally rich and diverse environment. I came to study at Arizona State University and have lived in Arizona for over 30 years now. I love living and working within the Deer Valley Unified School District. We take pride that my daughter grew up in our schools, and graduated as an O'Connor High School Eagle. She is now beginning her first year at University.  I know that 好色导航is the best district in the state! 

I have been a Teacher in Arizona for over 25 years. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Spanish at ASU from the department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, later adding my Post Baccalaureate degree in K-8 Elementary Education. My specialties and endorsements include Early Childhood Education, Spanish, and Structured English Immersion. I have enjoyed teaching Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade Spanish Immersion over the years--and yes, Kindergarten is my favorite place to be. I put my heart into working with children and watching them grow in areas we never dreamed of. Through fun, engaging activities, the possibilities for language acquisition are endless at this bright, young age. 

My number one focus for teaching and learning is health and safety--and with health comes a balance between growing academic knowledge and social-emotional learning. Bringing an ease and comfort level is key to all learning. My feelings of respecting the brains and emotions of children throughout the various stages of language acquisition are extremely important and close to my heart.

Please know that I am here for your family throughout this exciting journey in education.  

Sinceramente, 

Señorita Olson
